"We can only draw one conclusion: they are preparing very actively to solve militarily the conflicts on their territory."

Hmmm. Something wrong with this statement.

Because the key context is missing here. There are two small nations which were included in Georgian Soviet Republic: Abhazia and Ossetia. They resisted Georgian rule in 1990s and as a result of a compromise the Russian peacekeepers were placed there to oversee the ceasefire.

Now Georgian government wants Russian troops to leave while Abhazians and Ossetians want them to stay.

Nobody in the world recognizes Abkhazia and South Ossetia as nations, not even Russia.
