Georgia accused of ethnic cleansing in S. Ossetia
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said ethnic cleansing operations were being carried out in South Ossetia.

?The situation in South Ossetia is worsening every hour, the Georgian side is using heavy weapons and unleashing aggression against South Ossetian people,? Lavrov told reporters on Friday.

?Residential quarters in Tskhinvali and nearby villages are under heavy fire, including villages outside the zone of the South Ossetian conflict. A Russian humanitarian aid convoy has been bombed, and reports are coming of ethnic cleansing operations in South Ossetian villages,? Lavrov said.

He also said that Russia would provide urgent humanitarian aid to South Ossetian refugees. ?The President has told the Russian government to provide humanitarian aid to people in distress,? he underlined.

Asked about the number of Russian military equipment in South Ossetia, Lavrov recommended that Georgian authorities should count their own jets and tanks that bomb and attack civilians in South Ossetia.

He cited a recent statement by Teimuraz Yakobashvili, Georgia?s State Minister for Reintegration, that Russia should interfere in the conflict as a peacekeeper. ?This is exactly what we are doing now,? he emphasized.

The Foreign Minister expressed regret that Georgian officials were making their statements against the background of the EU flag. ?I think our European colleagues realize what is going on, and that they will make the right choice,? he stressed. Lavrov reminded that Georgian officials had stubbornly refused to sign documents against the use of violence in conflict zones.

this is a time to scour different news sites because each one will tell a different story, good luck finding a completely impartial media.

they both blame the other. georgia is just hoping the u.s. will back them should it escalate, which will not happen. i dont know why there isnt more media coverage. factual media coverage.

Our minister of foreign affairs, Carl Bildt, has mentioned "Hitler's methods" when talking about the Russians in this "South Ossetia War". This is all Russia's fault, cus I say so and I dislike Vladimir Putin No, but really. South Ossetia wants independence, it's part of Georgia. Suddenly, Russia walks in to.. I dunno why? Steal Ossetia? help them become independent from evil Georgia? Guess Medvedev wants a war, to make things funnier

Russia has escalated its showdown with its small, NATO-inclined neighbor of Georgia by closing all transport and postal communications. No trains, no flights, no ships, no vehicles, no mail money orders ? nothing can cross the border. This time, it's much worse than just another Russian spat with a former satellite state. The Georgia standoff may soon create a major headache for the Bush Administration, because of U.S. support for Georgia's right to align itself with the West.
Tuesday's announcement of the new measures came even after Georgia had handed over four Russian military intelligence officers accused of spying, and months of insults against Russia, threats to restore Georgia's sovereignty over its breakaway pro-Moscow provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and also assaults on Russian personnel serving in Georgia. Moscow insists that Russia is the injured party, forced to retaliate.

it only gets worse....

Shakasvili is a warmongerer, a mass murderer, a consummate liar, a pathetic tactician, a traitor who betrayed his people into a war they cannot win and a shameless coward.

Despite his feeble attempts at salvaging his reputation on CNN, we all know who is responsible for this disaster!
The people of Gerogia should call for his immediate resignation and impeachment. He is a lunatic, reminiscent of Hitler, who hijacked his own country onto the warpath.
My heart goes out to the people of Ossetia,Georgia and Russia who are the actual victims of Shakasvili's stupidity

I might be wrong but I think the only way this will end is if georgia admitts defeat..I dont see Russia backing down. and if they don't then Bush will get involved and we all know if Amerca gets involved then the UK will too. Fingers crossed this gets sorted!
