Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin met with U.S. Ambassador to Russia William Burns to discuss the situation surrounding the arrest of Russian military officers in Georgia on spying charges.
?The Russian side has stressed that these provocative actions undertaken by the Georgian leadership are a threat not only to Russian-Georgian relations, but also to regional security,? the Russian Foreign Ministry said in an information note.
?The Russian side demands the immediate release of its citizens and the lifting of the blockade around the Headquarters of the Russian Troops in the Trans-Caucasus [in Tbilisi] and hopes for the understanding and support of [our] American partners,? the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.
