Siege of Tkvarcheli was a military engagement during the 1992–93 War in Abkhazia. The siege was undertaken by the Georgian armed forces and lasted from October 1992 to September 1993, almost the entire duration of the war, but was eventually unsuccessful. It was accompanied by inconclusive fighting in surrounding villages. Russian aid, both humanitarian and military, was critical for the defence of the town which suffered a severe humanitarian crisis during the siege.
