The geopolitical turbulence the world has been living in for the past decades is reaching its peak. The Russian-Ukrainian war is the quintessence and, simultaneously, a reflection of the biggest military-political security challenges at regional and global levels. Russia is their source. From the moment of the collapse of the USSR until today, Moscow has been forced to build relations with the states that arose on its ruins in a new format. However, it never gave up the imperial practices of interaction, considering Georgia and Ukraine as parts of the "ruzzkii mir" and, accordingly, trying with all its might to return them to its sphere of influence at any cost.
Supporting local separatism, fueling ethno-national conflicts, giving citizenship, and introducing military formations under the auspices of the UN as peacekeepers are an incomplete list of measures taken by Moscow to preserve its imperial influence.
The proposed article attempts to examine the Putin regime's policy toward Georgia and Ukraine by disavowal of theoretical and legal concepts used by the Kremlin to legitimize its intervention on the territory of sovereign states.
