Seems this Georgian billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili has it's own ( and or pro-Putin) agenda. Here's some background Meduza' feature article

In other words, [ some criticis find] that, while outward signs indicate a sudden pro-Russian shift, the reality is more complex than manichean geopolitics would suggest. “I don’t really agree with the assessment that [Ivanishvili is] pro-Russian, or that he gets directions from Putin,” Kakabadze says. “He cares about himself most of all — his interests, his security, his money.”
