Русская версияFrench President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose country holds the rotating
EU presidency, has called a special European summit to address the
crisis in Georgia.
The meeting is to convene on September 1 after
several EU countries requested it. Western countries claim that
Russia has not fulfilled an EU-brokered ceasefire, requiring Russia
to withdraw its troops from Georgia proper. Moscow says that
residual soldiers are to remain in buffer zones around Georgia's
separatist territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Meanwhile, a
US Navy warship has unloaded humanitarian aid to victims of
Georgia's brief war with Russia. Also on Sunday, a fuel train
exploded on Georgia's main east-west rail line near the town of
Gori.
