Seems Russia is not happy with just taking South Ossetia and Abkhazia,it is establishing checkpoints in undisputed Georgian territory...

Getting harder and harder for the Russian apologists to explain that this is not a Russian land grab.
Quote:

RUSSIA plans to establish a long-term presence inside Georgia and one of its breakaway republics by adding 18 checkpoints, including at least eight within undisputed Georgian territory outside the pro-Russian enclave of South Ossetia, a Russian military official has revealed.
The checkpoints would be staffed by Russian troops, the official said. Those in Georgia proper would be supplied from South Ossetia, which is seeking independence.
The plan would put the border between Georgia and South Ossetia, and a small chunk of Georgia proper, under Russian control.
