Русская версияUnder intense international pressure, Russia has apparently started
to pull out of Georgia.
The Russian commander in the Caucasus,
General Vyachislav Borisov, said his troops had begun a withdrawal
from the South Ossetian city of Tskhinvali. US President George W.
Bush has welcomed Russia's acceptance of a ceasefire agreement
brokered by France, but said there could be no debate about
Georgia's sovereignty over its breakaway regions. Despite the
Russian pull-out announcement, Georgia says Abkhazian militias and
Russian army units were still occupying more than a dozen Georgian
villages.
