RUSSIA & GEORGIA. THE AFTERMATH aug. 21, 2008. (part 1/4)

Aug. 21 - Russian forces in Georgia will withdraw to a buffer zone by Friday evening -- two weeks after the initial invasion -- according to the deputy chief of staff of Russia's armed forces. "By the end of the 22nd, we will pull back to the checkpoints line," Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn said Thursday at a daily military briefing in Moscow, according to a translation by Russia Today TV station. Russia and Georgia signed a cease-fire agreement last weekend that allows Russian forces to establish a buffer zone inside Georgia within a few kilometers of South Ossetia, a pro-Moscow breakaway republic. Russian peacekeepers have been stationed in South Ossetia for more than a decade under international agreements.
