DISINFO: Russia did not invade Georgian territory in 2008
SUMMARY
It is incorrect to say that the Russian army has already invaded neighbouring countries, like what happened in Georgia in 2008.
Georgia invaded the pro-Russian separatist republic, resulting in an armed reaction from Moscow to protect Ossetian citizens, the majority of whom have Russian passports. It’s still not the same as an invasion.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative trying to deny any role for Russia in the Russo-Georgian 2008 war, and presenting it instead as a conflict between South Ossetia and Georgia.
For the 10 years anniversary of the conflict between Russia and Georgia the EU declared that :
The European Union reiterates its firm support to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognised borders.
Unfortunately, Russian military presence in both Abkhazia and South Ossetia continues in violation of international law and commitments undertaken by Russia under the 12 August 2008 agreement, mediated by the European Union.

The disinformation claim appeared in the same video clip, as the allegation that French TV was creating a nearly Russophobic documentary.
