He is also scheduled to visit refugees from the breakaway region.

Russia recognized the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states after a brief war with Georgia in 2008.

Skvernelis said at a news conference in Tbilisi on Monday that Lithuania condemned Russia’s “creeping annexation” of the regions.
