Abhazia will not reunite with Georgia even if Russia wasn’t there. Firstly it fought a 10 year long civil war mostly on it’s own against Georgia for independence. Same with South Ossetia. Both were added to Georgia by stalin to make it larger (map making he enjoyed). Both people have different language and culture and never considered themselves part of Georgia.

Abhazia has either one or two mountain passes to defend ( I dont remember even though I lived close by). South Ossetia is small but the Ossetians number about a million + so that is also a deterent. North and South Ossetia used to be one republic. Another thought is the Armenian minority in the south of the country which numbers a few hundred thousand they however been relatively calm and un pressured by Georgia so far.
