Dmitri A. Medvedev has just signed a revised truce 8.16.08 Saturday. Although, he has signed the truce the Kremlin has resisted pulling out of Georgia with urgency.

According to Sergey V. Lavrov, he stated that withdrawal of troops is dependent upon security of the region, but did not specify what particular measures were needed before they would withdrawal. He also stated, “The basic agreements do not determine the ceiling for the peacekeeping contingents. How long it will take, I have already emphasized that it depends not only on us. We are constantly facing problems created by the Georgian side.”

President Bush stated of Russia’s agreement that it is a, “hopeful step. Now Russia needs to honor the agreement and withdraw its forces, and, of course, end military operations.”

As of Saturday, Russian troops have remained contained in and around Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.

The argument goes; Russia says Georgia is at fault for entering South Ossetia. While Georgia has pronounced that Russia intends to make Georgia its vassal state.

According to Condoleezza Rice, “From my point of view, and I’m in contact with the French, the Russians are perhaps already not honoring their word.”

Humanitarian aid has been brought from Gori hospital in order to help those on the country side. When relief arrived the people crowded around the windows in hopes to get some rations that contained food in plastic bags.

A Georgian Soldier remarked, “If American could do something, why didn’t they help us?”
