Georgia condemned Russia on the 21 January 2014 for expanding its border deeper into Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia that Moscow has recognized as an independent country since 2008. Georgian diplomats said that Russia shifted its border with Georgia 11 kilometres deeper into Abkhazia, calling it an "illegal action" that violates Georgia's sovereignty. NATO criticised Russia on the 5 February 2014 for expanding its border deeper into Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region, a move Moscow has portrayed as a temporary step to expand a security zone around the Sochi Winter Olympics. |
