Russia Ended The "Georgian Operation”
President of the Russian Federation Medvedev said they ended the operation to force Georgians to peace. Russians want Georgia to sign a nonaggression document.
President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev announced that Russia had stopped the military operation, claiming that the security of the civilian population had been achieved.
However, there are no signs showing that Moscow is getting ready to start negotiating with Georgia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that they would not “talk” to Georgian President Mihail Saakaşvili and they required from Georgia to sign a binding document stating it would not use force again.
Medvedev also stated that they would not allow Georgia to launch another military activity against Southern Osettia.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy had landed in Moscow for peace discussions right before the announcement.
