  • ApMasterSite, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1Russia is keeping 2,500 troops in "buffer zones" outside the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia WITHIN Georgian territory.

    Earlier, the deputy chief of the Russian General Staff, Gen Anatoly Nogovitsyn, said that more than 2,500 "peacekeeping" troops with armoured cars and helicopters would remain inside Georgia for the foreseeable future.

    The buffer will extend more than 50 Kilometers into Georgia all around South Ossetian and Abkhazian region. A clear violation of International Agreements, Ceasefire and the UN Charter. And a violation of Georgian national sovereignty.
