Georgia Accuses Russia of Links with South Ossetian Militias
Today the Georgian authorities accused the Russian peacekeeping troops deployed in the South Ossetian conflict area of cooperating with the South Ossetia militias.
“For the first time the Russian peacekeepers openly fixed their position in the South Ossetian conflict. During the last night overnight shelling they provided the South Ossetian militias with information regarding the movements of Georgian peacekeepers,” Deputy Security Minister Gigi Ugulava said at a news briefing on August 11.
He said one resident of Tamarasheni, a Georgian village, was slightly wounded as a result of the overnight shelling in the Tskhinvali region, while Irina Gagloyeva, spokesperson for the South Ossetian de-facto authorities, reported two wounded from the South Ossetian side.
