Русская версияRussia has circulated its own draft United Nations resolution aimed
at bringing peace to Georgia at the Security Council.
This comes a
day after Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin blocked a
Western-sponsored draft that demanded an immediate withdrawal of
Russian forces from Georgia. The Russian text restates and endorsed
a six-point peace plan that is being promoted by French President
Nicolas Sarkozy and was signed last week by Russia and Georgia.
Western diplomats say that while they favour the peace plan, they
are reluctant to set it in stone through a Security Council
resolution until Russia complies with it by pulling its troops out
of Georgia.
