..One that can't be blocked.
England, Portugal, Germany, Norway, Netherlands, Spain, US, Canada, all have this.
They have hundreds of miles of coastline, meanwhile all of Europe gangs up on Russia if they feel like it will gain access to the ocean.
Can't have a prospering Russian naval economy, now can we? That would be dangerous!

Ah, you're right about that second part, but I'd like to see (if you can find it) the Georgian law recognizing Abkhazian as a co-official language in Abkhazia, because I understood it was for language reasons.
I also thought that they didn't want to be part of USSR, but independent country?
Not to mention the war of 1991, similar reason to Crimea (declared independence from Ukraine in 1994, Ukrainian Parliament declared it illegal and increased control over it).
In both cases, the territories want to "return" to Russia, to re-unite with a larger ehtnic group (for Crimeans, Russians; and for South Ossetians, North Ossetians). Same with Kosovars, Northern Ireland, and Catalonia).
