Russia Breaks Georgia Truce
Russia orders troops deep into Georgia. The latest move violates a truce designed to end the conflict.The United States has planned a massive humanitarian effort involving American ships and aircraft, includiung a C-17 military cargo plane loaded with supplies. President Bush said Russia must ensure that "all lines of communication and transport, including seaports, roads and airports," remain open while deliveries are made to civilians. Georgian officials said that its main east to west highway was looted and bombed by Russian soldiers. The highway is a central hub for the country in the city of Gori. Russia denied the accusations, but Russian tanks were in the streets while seizing Georgian cars and looting homes. Some homes were set on fire. "Russia has treacherously broken its word," Georgia's Security Council chief Alexander Lomaia said. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russian troops were near Gori to secure weapons left behind by the Georgians. Troops were also seen in Abkhazia where they planted a flag over the Inguri River. The soldiers laughed and said, "American training in running away."
