TL;DR
Based on shared experience in the chat, travelers with Crimea/Sevastopol-linked Russian documents are advised to enter Georgia by air only, as overland entry is reportedly refused. Cars with Crimean registration plates, including regions 82 and 92, are not recognized for entry.
If your Russian documents are linked to Sevastopol or Crimea, the practical advice shared was to enter Georgia by plane rather than through a land border checkpoint.
For overland crossing, the answer in the discussion was clear: with this type of document history, travelers are reportedly turned back at the land border.
Driving in with Crimean plates is not recommended: according to the reply, Georgian authorities do not recognize plates from regions 82 and 92.
The participant also noted that this is not limited to Crimea: the same approach reportedly applies to plates or documents linked to other annexed territories.
