Русская версияThe military situation in Georgia remains unclear as Moscow denied
reports from Tbilisi that Russian forces were advancing on two
fronts to occupy the Caucusus nation.
At the Kremlin's request,
NATO has agreed to hold an extraordinary meeting on Tuesday to
discuss the crisis in Georgia. At a press conference in Tbilisi on
Monday, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili accused Moscow of
attempting to topple his government. Earlier, Saakashvili had
signed a ceasefire agreement proposed by European Union envoys, who
will now attempt to persuade Moscow to accept a truce. Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev has suggested that the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe send observers to the disputed
region of South Ossetia, where the Kremlin charges that Tbilisi has
triggered a humanitarian catastrophe.
