Just 25 miles separates Georgia’s vibrant capital city, Tbilsi, and the front line of a geopolitical struggle between Russia and the West.
Ignoring Washington's warnings, Moscow-backed troops have been moving a disputed border deeper into Georgia, a former Soviet republic that is now a staunch U.S. ally.

Temuri Khuroshvili is a retired police officer whose cinder-block house is in one of the 52 villages on the boundary. His home is surrounded by annexed territory on 3 sides.
"We can do nothing to protect ourselves … we cannot start war on them," Khuroshvili said.
Nikolas Korashvili, a dance teacher, said his brother was forced to flee after he woke up to find the boundary had been moved overnight beyond his property.
“They gave him no warning,” Korashvili said. “He had to run away with his children and his family.”
The boundary "has been hardening" and becoming "more impenetrable," E.U. mission chief Erik Høeg said while overlooking a wide valley bisected by the meandering line. "It's been much more difficult since 2009, and we see less flexibility compared to 3 or 4 years ago."
Banksy, the elusive British street artist, has taken aim at Europe's migrant crisis in a series of new works around Paris on the theme of refugees.
The French capital is grappling with a flow of refugees that authorities have struggled to handle. Officials regularly clear the streets of impromptu migrant camps. Mayor Anne Hidalgo has blamed President Emmanuel Macron's administration for not doing enough to help.
The images, rendered in Banksy's trademark somber-toned stencils, began appearing last week and include a depiction of a black girl checking over her shoulder as she paints over a swastika.
The pink-flowered wallpaper pattern she uses to hide the swastika borrows from Banksy's 2008 piece, "Go Flock Yourself."
At least seven other new works across the city are credited to Banksy. Since the artist maintained his customary silence, nobody can say for sure but he posted a picture of Paris, along with some of the works, on his official Instagram feed.
For Kasia Klon, the location of the girl and the swastika convinced her that it was a genuine Banksy. Klon, who runs Street Art Tours Paris, learned that it appeared near a now-closed center for migrants in northern Paris on June 20, World Refugee Day.
"The whole story started to click," she said. "Banksy is pretty easy to recognize because he has a specific style, and it's in the message that he has with it."

Greek protesters hurl stones, fire bombs: Demonstrators on Wednesday threw stones and gasoline bombs at police outside parliament during a two-day general strike that unions described as the largest in years.
The protest, which has grounded flights, disrupted public transport and shut down shops to schools in Greece, comes ahead of a parliamentary vote on a fresh package of tax increases and spending cuts required by international creditors in return for crucial bailout cash. Without the money from its partners that use the euro and the International Monetary Fund, Greece has said it will run out of money within a month.
