Saakashvili Calls on West to Put Pressure on Russia

At a news briefing in London on July 14 Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili called on the western powers to put pressure on Russia over breakaway South Ossetia.

“I do believe that some elements in Moscow are carrying out some aggressive plans; and not just plans but they are carrying out aggressive actions. These are people who have rid themselves of their imperial ambitions,” Reuters and AP quoted Mikheil Saakashvili as saying.

Russia says that it can not remain ?indifferent towards the fate of its citizens, which comprise an absolute majority in South Ossetia.?
