Russia and Georgia rattle sabres

Posted by Matt in April 30th, 2008

GEORGIA and Russia agree upon one thing: the situation in the breakaway province of Abkhazia is bad and getting worse. Georgia, an ex-Soviet republic with close links to America, says that Russia is illegally putting more troops in the region. Last week it produced video footage of what looks like a Russian warplane shooting down an unmanned Georgian surveillance drone. Russia retorts that its troops are deployed legally as peacekeepers. And the Kremlin says that it is the Georgian authorities who have been acting provocatively, by increasing their military presence in the Kodori Gorge, a small bit of Abkhazia still controlled by the central government in Tbilisi.

Georgia said it had withdrawn most of its troops from South Ossetia in the face of a build-up in Russian firepower and that it had lost control of the near-destroyed regional capital, Tskhinvali. International condemnation grew as Georgia claimed that Russian jets had bombed near the capital Tbilisi for the first time, targeting a military airfield. As diplomatic efforts intensified to bring an end to the crisis, officials in Tbilisi said Moscow had begun bombing Georgian territory in and around another restive province, Abkhazia. Georgian Reintegration Minister Temur Yakobashvili told...

	Russia, Georgia do Battle Over Breakaway Republic Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says Russian troops sent into Georgia's breakaway province of South Ossetia must force Georgia into a ceasefire. Medvedev says that Russian forces in South Ossetia also have a mission to protect civilians in the province, most of whose residents hold Russian passports. Medvedev made the statement Saturday at a meeting with his defense minister. Georgia launched a massive offensive to regain control over the breakaway province which has close ties with Russia, and Moscow responded by sending in armored convoys. Georgia also accused Russia of bombing its towns, ports and air bases and asked the international community to help end what it called Russian aggression.

And before this conflict US delivered weapons, techniques, rocket installations to Georgia, prepared the Georgian soldiers, spent doctrines "immediate response" in the middle of July.
