Newsflash: Russia does not support Abkhazian nor South Ossetian independence and never will, That is because Abkhazia and South Ossetia are not independent nations, they are Russian conquests.

How right you are. Russia won’t lift a finger for Serbia. Putin considers them mere cannon fodder for proxy actions in the area.

...if it wasn’t funny it would be sad.
The enemy of my enemy (Russia) is my friend.
Russia has started a New Cold War and Russia and Serbia are now my enemy.

Trifling with words. Heres another news flash: Russia’s tacit if not open support for Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence, declared unilaterally in the 90’s by those provinces is as legitimate as the US’, recognition of the new Muslim state of Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence (and Croatia’s and Bosnia, etc.). Secondly, conquests make nation-states - that’s the stuff of world history. And if Georgia can’t put a lid on a genie it let out of the bottle (by it’s own independence) then give it up and stop trying to start nuclear winter by sucking the West into their internecine struggle.
