nytimes.com/2023/01/13/world/europe/georgia-russia-cargo-border.html
Quick Glance: The Path of Western Goods to Russia: A Long Truck Route through Georgia

- The long, winding lines of cargo trucks waiting to cross from Georgia into Russia more than doubled last year, according to the Russian government.
- Acquiring goods through Georgia and neighboring countries like Armenia and Azerbaijan has helped Russia navigate the economic challenges resulting from its invasion of Ukraine.
- Sometimes drivers have to endure such long waiting times that perishable cargo becomes spoiled.
