President Bush: “Russia must respect the freedom of its neighbours”
US President George W Bush has accused Russia of “bullying and intimidation” in its military actions inside Georgia.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili speak during a news briefing in Tbilisi August 15, 2008.
Mr Bush demanded that Moscow respect Georgia’s territorial integrity and withdraw the troops it sent in a week ago – or risk international isolation.
The crisis began when Georgia attacked the breakaway region of South Ossetia, sparking Russian intervention.
Georgia’s President Mikhail Saakashvili said he had signed a ceasefire deal – but that it was not a final settlement.
The six-point ceasefire agreement was brokered by France, and was presented by the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in Tbilisi.
