At the airports in Moscow, it seems, they decided to damage the passport, and not inside (as in the classics). Citizens of Abkhazia who have Russian citizenship at the same time have problems with border control: the Russian border guards demand to present a Russian document, but they do not allow them to cross the border with an Abkhazian passport. Legally, it's not exactly a story about Russia not recognizing Abkhazian passports. Sale - within the framework of existing agreements. But Moscow and Sukhum have different understandings of how these agreements work in the case of dual citizenship. The agreement to resolve issues of dual citizenship enters into force in April 2025. However, it does not establish a separate right to cross the Russian border exclusively with an Abkhazian passport. Sukhum refers to the 2009 agreement on reciprocal visa-free travel.
