Nuts. This is validating that Georgia does not control much of its territory beyond South Ossetia and Abkhazia either. Russia also appears to have freedom of movement of its units in much of Georgia. This could easily become a defacto conquest if they cannot be forced to withdraw.

Rumor has it that Russia wasn’t happy about it docking since it was carrying weapons. Looks like we either decided not to risk an ‘incident’ or maybe just still deciding what to do. The coming hours will tell. Either way, I’m sure there’s more to this than whats out in public.
