'At war'

Georgian forces launched the latest in a series of artillery attacks on Tskhinvali early on Saturday, according to a South Ossetian government spokeswoman.

Russian forces said they had fought back, and fierce clashes were reported by Russian news agencies overnight.

Georgia meanwhile said that Russia had launched air strikes on targets outside of South Ossetia, in what it described as "a full-scale military invasion".

The Georgian authorities also said they were expecting a Russian attack on the capital, Tbilisi, and have evacuated some government offices in the city.

Georgian President Saakashvili said Russia was at war with his country.

Late on Friday, the Georgian national security council said Mr Saakashvili was poised to declare a state of emergency.

Three Russians killed in S Ossetia

A Russian peacekeeper near Tskhinvali
The Russian military says three of its peacekeeping troops have been killed in South Ossetia overnight, bringing the total losses to 15.

Igor Konashenkov, an aide to Russia's infantry commander said on Saturday that 22 peacekeepers wounded in fighting with Georgian forces were evacuated from South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali, bringing the total number of wounded to 70.

Fierce clashes continue between Russian and Georgian forces in South Ossetia for the second day while the UN Security Council has so far failed to reach an agreement for calling an end to hostilities in the breakaway region.

South Ossetia declared its independence from Georgia following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the Georgian leadership has said that it's determined to bring the region back under central control.

Georgian military forces began a large-scale military offensive against the South Ossetian separatists on Thursday evening.

South Ossetian sources reportedly put the death toll from the fighting at around 1,400 people.

Meanwhile, Russian army units have arrived in the breakaway region to reinforce peacekeepers, Konashenkov told the Russian television. Additional 'special units' would arrive in South Ossetia 'in the next few hours', he said.

Re: Georgian-South Ossetian conflict

I agree. I’m wondering if there is any pro-Russian opposition in Georgia. I know there wasn’t any during “democratic” (according to the West) presidential elections.

Russia should just annex Georgia.

Re: Georgian-South Ossetian conflict

Parts of Russia's 76th Air Assault Division, from Russia's famous VDV "Vozdushno-Desantnye Vojska" (Russian Airborne Troops) the Blue Berets, just touched down in Tskhinvali.

http://www.rian.ru/defense_safety/20080809/150223158.html

Georgian regular army are mostly young kids who are already scared to death, as for their reservists then the majority of them are unfit, middle-aged men with very little military experience. If Saakashvili sends them to fight against Russia's 76th then the Gerogians will be slaughtered, that's guaranteed.

P.S. Just heard that Russia is about to send to South Ossetia also the 98-th Air Assault Division, and the Spetznaz from the 45-th Special Division. This particular Division specializes in operations deep inside the enemy territory. Imagine if they have orders to capture Saakashvili and his closest associates and deliver them to Russia. As Medvedev said "no one will escape punishment for their crimes". If the reports of over 2,000 deaths of the peaceful population alone is true then I think Russia has more than enough grounds to charge Saakashvili with war crimes.

Re: Georgian-South Ossetian conflict

the media here are utterly repulsive. "invasion", "russian aggression"..

The whole West is repulsive, brother. They are nothing but dishonest, two-faced and godless creatures. Never trust the west is what we Armenians should never forget.

Re: Georgian-South Ossetian conflict

comes Saakashvili as he pleads for help

By the way, a few hours ago I received unofficial reports that Saakashvili had a heart scare and he is feeling very ill so much so that the talk is to fly him to Ankara's top militrary hospital for an urgent operation. But remember this information could be wrong because it is unofficial.

He either got really sick, which is possible considering the mess he put his people and country in, or it's his excuse to flee to mother Turkey to save his miserable arse. Either way Saakashvili is history because his American masters have no choice but to unofficially declare him being in the wrong in order to save their own faces since this whole fiasco was orchestrated from Washington. US just never thought that Russia would "dare" to counter attack Georgia itself and with such intensity and vigour.
