Reference: On August 8, 2008, Russia invaded Georgia. The reason for this was Russia's support for separatists in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. This war is called the Five-Day War, the August War, or the War of 888.
On the night of August 8, 2008, Georgia announced another shelling of Georgian villages by the unrecognized republic. After that, Tbilisi announced the restoration of constitutional order and on the morning of August 8, the Georgian army occupied most of Tskhinvali, the main population center of South Ossetia. Russia accused Georgia of "aggression against South Ossetia" and launched a full-scale land, air, and sea invasion of Georgia, calling it an operation to "force peace."
On August 12, President Saakashvili signed a truce plan proposed by the European Union. Despite this, Russian troops continued to actively advance deep into Georgian territory. On August 26, the Kremlin recognized the "independence" of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The Georgian government broke off diplomatic relations with Russia. In 2021, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia maintains "direct control" over the separatist regions and is responsible for the deaths.
