Russia does yet control the area where the pipeline is, but that’s beside the point, as the idea is to prevent it being used, rather than control it. The problem with the scenario you describe is that Russian troops will be killed by thousands, if they try to hold onto any Georgian area for a long time, hence Russia does not plan to stay there even months.
