The effort to oust MP Kan Kvarchiya stemmed from a public dispute involving Russian political strategists apparently illegally working in Abkhazia.

RFE/RL has reported that the decision was pending approval from the EU’s foreign ministers.

The practice of issuing Russian ID cards in Abkhazia began only in 2025.

Videos of the confrontation between the Abkhazian opposition figures and the Russian political consultants were spread on social media.
