Abkhazia is ready to become a platform for parallel import of goods to Russia in light of the introduction of Western sanctions, according to the Russian media, the Russian media quotes the so-called president of occupied Abkhazia, Aslan Bzhania.

"Since a significant number of states have announced a regime of sanctions against Russia, we certainly think that our territory can be used for parallel imports. We have two ports, we have access to other states," said Bzhania.

According to him, Abkhazia is not afraid of sanctions.

"You know that Abkhazia was recognized by many states, the most important thing for us is that Russia recognized us. We are not afraid of any sanctions. On the contrary, these difficulties bring us closer," he said.
