Русская версияRussian President Dmitri Medvedev has signed a six-point European
plan to defuse the crisis in the Caucasus.
Georgian President
Mikhail Saakashvili signed the accord on Friday. But, Russian
troops are digging in close to the Georgian capital, Tbilisi,
despite the French-brokered ceasefire, and show no sign of pulling
out more than a week after invading Georgia. According to
eyewitnesses in the western Georgian town of Poti, Russian troops
have also carried off equipment from the town's harbor and air
field. Russia, however, has denied reports that it has blown up a
key railroad bridge west of the capital. The United States and
Germany have called Russia's invasion "an excessive use of force"
and have demanded the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from
Georgian territory.
