@fedya,
What about the connection between Abkhazia and Russia proper? Is it just a rail line along the coast that can be interdicted? Are there bridges and mountain cliffs? Is it a wide opening to the North that can’t be bottled up? In other words without free access to Sevastapol by land and sea can the Russians sustain an army South of the Caucasus?
