The UN Security Council is deadlocked over the situation in Georgia with the US and Russia rejecting rival resolutions on the crisis.
Washington says it is prepared to veto a Russian resolution seeking to implement a six-point ceasefire plan.
Russia has reiterated its opposition to a rival French text, reaffirming Georgia's territorial integrity.
Most Russian soldiers are due to leave Georgia shortly but 500 will stay in a "buffer zone" around South Ossetia.
Russia has set itself a deadline of Friday night to pull back all its combat troops .
