I admire the optimism of #ZackPolanski that we can negotiate with Russia considering how Russia has invaded and occupied #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08), let alone is taking part in its second invasion of Ukraine. #BBCaq

De Facto States Week in Review 18–24 August 2025 Polling disputes in Transnistria, fuel shortages in Abkhazia, creeping annexation in South Ossetia, a diplomatic reset over Nagorno-Karabakh, and a politically charged celebration in Gagauzia.

Trump's America Just Gave Putin Another Free Pass On The World Stage The US has dropped 17 years of diplomacy.

Russia invaded #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08) but #TheOrangutan does not care. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/trump-...

For 1st time, US refuses to join int'l condemnation of #Russia 2008 invasion of #Georgia and its continued occupation of #Abkhazia and #SouthOssetia regions.

Joint statement by 5 UN Security Council members & 1 incoming member reaffirms Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity

Correction, Russia is fighting ANOTHER regional war. It has already invaded and occupied
#Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08)

#Ukraine and #NATO. Russia already has invaded and occupied #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08). We need Trump to stop further “liberations” taking place.

Where I discuss the economy in #Transnistria, and the commemoration of the #Russian-#Georgian war in #SouthOssetia. There are some honourable mentions, including the #Armenia & #Azerbaijan agreement, and Dodik being stripped of his presidency

@Tatarigami_UA

Since 1991, #Russia ’s been carving out chunks of its neighbors like a butcher:
Transnistria from #Moldova in ’92,Abkhazia and #SouthOssetia from #Georgia in ’08, #Donbas and #Crimea from #Ukraine in ’14, and then in ’22 again. But trust me bro, this time it’s going to be different!

This gives the bloc new potential to #resolve or #stabilise “ #frozenconflicts” in eastern candidate states. The breakaway and occupied regions of #Abkhazia, #SouthOssetia & #Transnistria are undergoing a process of de facto annexation by Russia.

Your statement did not refer to Western Europe. You posted about Russia invading Europe. Before #RussiaInvadedUkraine it had invaded #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08). #BBCaq

captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2022/09/a-ne...

You posted about Russia invading Europe. The invasions of #Ukraine (twice), #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08) show how Russia has invaded Europe on several occasions.

captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2022/09/a-ne...

It is black and white. #RussiaInvadedUkraine, twice. In addition to that, it has also invaded #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08). There are no shades of grey.

captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2022/09/a-ne...

Just a reminder as you have forgotten. In addition to how #RussiaInvadedUkraine violating the #BudapestMemorandum (twice), there is also the invasion and continued occupation of #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08)

captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2022/09/a-ne...

No, nations that joined #NATO joined to stop Russia invading them! Since the invasion/liberation of Abkhazia, Russia invaded/liberated #SouthOssetia and is on its second invasion/liberation of Ukraine.

That’s your choice, but the counter charge can be made that you think like Putin wants you to think. Most in the UK have ignored how Russia invaded #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08) before its 2 invasions of Ukraine. #BBCaq

Not sure how that adds up considering how Russia has invaded and occupied #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08) before #RussiaInvadedUkraine

The World Cup for Countries That Don't Exist From Abkhazia to the Punjabi diaspora, CONIFA gives game time to players from unmapped nations – and to teams FIFA doesn’t recognise

A little football history, from the archive. Abkhazia lifts the CONIFA Cup - and the veil on sportswashing?

Remember that Russia also invaded (and still occupies) #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08), the first two causing the NATO expansion it now claims to fear!

Appeasement of Russia did not work when it invaded #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08)

#NATO expansion has been a result of Russia invading and occupying #Transnistria (‘92), #Abkhazia (‘93) & #SouthOssetia (‘08) BEFORE it decided to move onto Ukraine.

6. Putin gets #Zelenskyy out, uses (unimpeded by U.S.) espionage, subterfuge, guerrilla warfare tactics (see #SouthOssetia) and “rebuilding help” to pull #Ukraine into his grasp.

Russia had long criticised Soros, wary of the democratic revolutions in #Ukraine, #Georgia and other post-communist states on its borders that it believed Soros had supported.

And another new book with a beautiful cover. This time not on "recognition" of states but "derecognition". It's about #taiwan , #westernsahara , #abkhazia , #southossetia and #kosovo !

I cannot wait to read this book of @gezimvisoka.bsky.social
