Georgian experts call large-scale military exercises in occupied Abkhazia " showing muscle game" from Russia".
According to their assessment, Moscow is dissatisfied with Georgia`s and Ukraine"s relations with the NATO, as well as the emergence of US ships in the Black Sea.
"Such exercises are always a signal that we have control over the situation here and your being here will not change anything. There was a lot of dissatisfaction on the entry of US military ships into the Black Sea. They also noted that they do not like NATO`s cooperation with Ukraine and Georgia, "said Nodar Kharshiladze, the founder of the Georgian Strategic Analysis Center (GSAC).
International Relations Specialist Giorgi Rukhadze states that Russia is trying to show that it controls the situation, but he says that while NATO is strengthening everyday in the Black Sea waters, these provocative actions of Russia will bring nothing.Three thousand soldiers, 400 units and military vessels participate in the exercises in occupied Abkhazia. In parallel, Russia strengthens military potential in the west.
