Русская версияThe military situation in Georgia remains unclear as Moscow denied
reports by Tbilisi that Russian forces were advancing on two fronts
and effectively dividing the Caucasus nation in two.
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.
