Tbilisi renders an account – Articles – GeorgiaTimes.info: “Russia owes Georgia 40 billion dollars for preventing it from conquering the Abkhaz and the Ossetians in the 90s by way of fire and bloodshed. That is the amount of the damage caused by the presence of the Russian military troops and companies in Abkhazia and South Ossetia; the figure was voiced by Head of the Parliamentary Commission for Territorial Integrity Restoration Shota Malashkhia in his interview to a Russian newspaper. However, this money is never going to be retrieved and the fact of the damage will never be proven to court.
The winner is forced to pay a contribution: this would be nonsense anywhere but in Georgia.”
