Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili signed a cease-fire agreement on Friday, which the U.S. said means Russian troops must begin withdrawing. The meeting was parallel to the peace talk meeting form german chancellor A. Merkel and russian president Medvedev at the russian black sea resort Sochi. Good coordination progress on the way.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the priority now was "all Russian troops and irregulars that entered Georgia with them must leave immediately."
President Bush earlier chided Russia for Cold War-style behavior in its territorial conflict with Georgia, accusing it of "bullying and intimidation" as international pressure grew on Moscow to withdraw its troops from the region.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev remained defiant over Moscow's actions saying Russia had brought peace to the region.
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said Friday: "We are under Russian occupation."
