Moscow-backed Abkhazia transit route could rival 'Trump Route' in Caucasus

A proposed transit route connecting Armenia to Russia via Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region, dubbed the 'Putin Route', is gaining traction as an alternative to the existing 'Trump Route' through Georgia proper. The plan would revive north-south rail links, potentially boosting Armenia's economy but complicating regional geopolitics given Abkhazia's contested status. Its viability and political implications remain uncertain.
