Georgian public appeal to world community
We are the young democratic country with an ancient European traditions.
In our country there is war! Russia’s aggression has no boundaries. Today, the bombing exposed the civilian population of Georgia throughout the country. Along with the Russian military, the Russian media declared war too. The country imposed martial law. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Tomorrow must be a peaceful day! Victory for Peace!
We must achieve peace together! We are part of a unified world community!
Let’s stop Russia! In this century we might be the first, but you will be the next! We should not repeat the historical mistakes. When Europe is passive, Russia becomes aggressive and reactive..
Supporting Georgia is the salvation of European civilization!

I still remember the days, when I being an ethnic Tatar grew up in Uzbekistan and spoke Russian. We enjoyed our time in beautiful Abhazia every summer. My parents drank Georgian wine, we met Gergians, Armenians, Abhazians. Did we think that this part of the beautiful land will be draged into the war? No!!!
Who needs this war? Geargian people?… Abhazian?… Osetians?… Russians?… NO, none of those people!!!
But for sure American politicians, who are back to the real politik matters: There are no friends only enemies, or rivals.
Does Saakashvili care about his folks- I doubt.
This war has nothing to do with the territorial dispute, it is all about influence in the world. And Russia again becomes a rival, no way Hegemon would allow that.
And dear Khvacha, lets have a bottle of Kindzmarauli, put the beautiful music of Georgia, and think how stupid our two nations to believe that this war in our interest.
We will be much better with the friendship and respect to each other.
Sorry but I like your culture, and I have tears when I see crying women and dying children of Georgia and Osetia.
Do not let them to brainwash you!!!

IT is a CRIME to support Saakashwili!2000 civilians killed`, tanks runnig down elderly women with two toddlers; families burnt alive in their homes – that had been done by georgians, and they pretend to be victims? Do not let yourselves be brainwashed! Saakaschwili proclaims a cease fire and continues to bomb Tshinwal, killing women and children.

It is very strange that in USA people see only one side of conflict: the Saakashvili side. Nobody knows, that Saakashvili has started this war on the day (night) of opening the Olympic Games, he entered the South Ossetia, and in a few hours he just destroyed the whole town, killed thousands of peaceful people. Only after that Russian forces, as peace keeper, came to South Ossetia, while UNO did not do any steps there.
We can see Saakashvili speaking too much at the TV, but nobody hears the point of view of Russia, because Russia is really trying to help the conflict not with words but with actions.
By the way did any of USA media come to the South Ossetia to see what happens there??? No, they are comfortably staying on the side of Georgia, where they can not see what happened to the South Ossetia. So what trueth they can show you? Of course they do not go to South Ossetia, because forces of Georgia are even shooting media people there too.

Georgians and their US-masters would never be forgiven for recent mass slaughter in South Ossetia. Brutal massacre of S. Ossetian civilians by Georgian army during the first days of military operation was nothing but an extreme point of man-hatred. A few examples of acts of genocide are given below.
The road from regional hub Znaur to the village of Dzhava is covered with corpses of S. Ossetian civilians – including women, elders and children. It’s still impossible to bury the dead as all moving objects in that area immediately come under fire of Georgian snipers and artillery.
Tkhsinval, August 8, 2008. According to eyewitnesses a group of S. Ossetian children was burnt alive inside two refugee’s minibuses which headed to Vladikavkaz.
The Khetagurovo massacre – another tragedy of Zharsk province. All young ladies of Khetagurovo village were kidnapped and driven away in unknown direction. Other villagers – men, women and elders were blocked in the building of local church and set on fire. Children were murdered separately. Georgians chopped children’s heads off in presence of their parents. Kidnapped girls have been raped and tortured, their genitals disfigured.
We want to believe that after all Saakashvili’s junta will face adeserved trial soon.
Michael said
Saakashvili is a great liar and provocator!
He killed more than 2000 citizens in South Ossetia and now he is appealing to NATO and USA for military support to kill more people.
Don’t believe him! Say NO to GENOCIDE!
Igor said
It seems to me that Kvacha distorts history, of course some facts from this list took place but it does not give the right Georgian troops to bomb South Osetia and kill Osetia nation. Besides I want to pay attention that Mikheil Saakashvili began this war. Also I was shocked when I found out how Georgian troops killed Osetians, looking at the video materials and photos I thought from which degenerates the Georgian soldiers were born.
As for me I think that my army should kill all these bustards and I will not take into acount the methods how this goal will be reached.
On the other hand I understand that this war which was started by
Mikheil Saakashvili was approved by USA and it seems to me that the main targets were first to get full control of Kaspian oil by supervising pet Saakashvili and controling pipeline Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and second to show that Russia can not support normal situation in Kaukaz.
I would like to clarify the situation about real American support. Here we are discussing who is right and who is guilty but in USA press I found out the polemic concerning possibility to enable Russia carte blanch in Georgia and for this good will we should betray Iran

00:06 Georgia began intensive shelling of Tskhinvali
Shortly before midnight Moscow time from the Georgian villages of Nikozi Ergneti and began firing heavy guns from the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali, South Ossetia and villages. Representatives of the unrecognized republic said that Georgian troops actually started the war and the storming of Tskhinvali.
02:08 Georgia announced the beginning of the war with South Ossetia
Georgia notified peacekeepers deployed in the conflict zone, the beginning of the war in South Ossetia.
10:09 UNSC refused to condemn Georgia
At 15:06 Tskhinvali moving column of Russian tanks
within 15 hours georgia 2000 killing civilians after which Russia has imposed additional troops to help the Russian peacekeepers are killed by shot in Tskhinvali
Russia said
Georgia shelled Tskhinvali from the installation GRAD, a missile complex, contains 40 missiles with a range 5000 meters, the zone is fired after the defeat of a soccer field area, and such weapons georgia bombarded the city suspend the peace, not just the city ruins were left alone conducted 15 hours of bombardment is not yet come Russian troops, georgia destroyed 10 villages and completely destroyed the town of Tskhinvali, the first day of the shooting deaths of approximately 2000 civilians, Russian military evacuated under fire survivors. Incidentally must not forget recent years, America supplied weapons to Georgia and trained Georgian military, the American taxpayers’ money 08.08.2008 killed 2000 people and how many of them killed in the recent past. Americans must wonder what their state spends their money.

Civilians of Tskhinval call to the people of the World: Please save our minority people from annihilation by Georgian nazis!
Please stop the genocide of Ossetian people!
Nationalistic, nazi government of Georgia since 1989-1990 carries through a policy of physical annihilation and expulsion of native Ossetian population from their land. Starting from 1991 thousands of people – Ossetians, Abkhasians, Armenians and Russians – died as a result of military operations, criminal actions and ethnic cleansing undertaken by Georgian authorities against minorities. The scale of this genocide has always been played down by the media. Sheer bestiality of Georgian nazis and their devious torture methods have long overshadowed those used by Germans in the Second World War.
The Georgian nation is not well – their ideas of exclusivity, being the “chosen one” – which they use as an excuse for unfounded territorial claims, are well heated up by Georgian media.
Georgian Government is financed by the USA who have their own geopolitical interests in the region.
Now we have a full scale tragedy on our hands: Ossetian people are systematically destroyed in their own houses, dying in ruins of their own homes.
Georgian nazis have destroyed and eliminated many of Ossetian villages. The city of Tskhinval has been wiped out.
It is quite impossible to count the victims who have been buried in the remains of buildings destroyed by the fire of Georgian invaders – there are thousands. Their cries are still heard from underneath.
The Republican Hospital where the wounded were treated has been destroyed by Georgian artillery. The wounded and medical personnel are now entombed in the rubble and it is impossible to save them because of the savage fire coming from the opposite side. At the same time Georgians cynically claim that they are reinstating constitutional order, they blame either Ossetians or Russians for causing this conflict.
Abkhasian people will be the next victim of Georgian extremism.
We ask for your help and solidarity, we ask you to reach out to international sites.
Let the World know the truth, not the lies presented by the experts in falsification from Georgia and her masters.
Elena said
Americans why don`t you go and see what georgians have done in South Ossetia backed with your money and advice?Is amount of death and suffering not enough for you? US Air Force delivered 800 georgian fighters and equipment from Iraq while crazy Saakashwili announced cease fire proposal! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

Recent events has finally proven several things to me. First is that UN is no longer an adequate or useful for the world. Not being able to express their opinion for so long and failing to do whatsoever, the security counsil is full of old, useless men, who care more about their lunch than the lives of poor people of South Osetia or Georgia. After Darfour, I hoped they learned valuable lesson, but unfortunatelly, they broke my hopes. Second truth I saw was that Saakashvilli is not a president, he is a lying, decieving, monstrous pet-dog of U.S Government, who wouldn’t stop before anything (even the murder of his own people), just to prove his loyalty to Mrs.Rice (and his utter stupidity to the adequate world). The amount of lies he told and promises he broke already disqualifies him as person and as a Man, he is definetly not a presidnet, but rather a self-centered dictator with a severe case of schitsophrenia. Poor citizens of Georgia are now thrown into the havoc, not knowing what is happening and being forced to mobilise and evacuate. The other thing I understood was that BBC, CNN and other mass media giants are not just bias, they are fully controlled by their governments and the information they give us is nothing but propaganda, aiming to decieve and create the false opinion. Shame on them and their journalists, who failed to provide world the true facts. My understanding of the actual events come from my phonecalls to friends in the region and some independent sources such as nregion.com and similar websites.
The attack of the Georgian special forces was prepared by Saakashvili and U.S Government for a long time. The day – the beginning of Olympics was not coincidential. Mr.Putin is in Beijing and Mr.Medvedev is on vacation, this was supposed to gain georgian army more time as the reaction will be delayed. Same night, just prior to the beginning of attack, many georgian families were called and told by their recrutement authorities, that the mobilisation is due, and the reason they gave was – The 8 days of compulsary training. All men from 18 to 40 had to be present in the recruitement centers before 10 a.m the morning the war began. This information I gathered from mothers of some boys, who had to abandon their summer practises in Universities.
Russian army did not launch any military responce to the attack until several hours after Georgian forces were already rampaging in South Osetia, executing peaceful people in the villages and killing peacekeepers. Russian government to the very last moment tried to reason with the moron Saakashvili, but their efforts were hopeless from the very beginning. The monster has made his move, starting ethnic cleansing ansd genocide (commanding to use Thor systems to destroy the civilian areas of Tschinvali and other villages definetly qualifies fo he use of such terms)
Just the day before he swore that the negotiations will continue, but to such a person there is nothing sacred. Even the evacuation corridor the Georgian government promised for people of Tschinvali between 15:00 and 18:00 the same day, has turned out as a trap aimed to finish off any survivors.
The gap between the attack and military responce from the Russian peace keepers force proves that all of Saakashvili’s announcements are pure lies. The plan was quite well-thought of, but the monster made several mistakes in carrying it out. The blame, which is supposed to be put on Russia won’t stick as after the realisation of the FACTS I just exposed, even the U.S Government will have to admit that Russia is actually the only force, which helped and protected the people of South Osetia from complete elimination on their homeland. The question is how long will it take them and how many lives of innocent people of Georgia and South Osetia will be ruined, before the monster Saakashvili is stopped. And even after that what will be lost in this WAR is not only lives, but the fragile trust between Georgians and Osetians, which took Russia more than 15 years to built. Lets all pray the War ends soon and for you to never have to experience anything like this.

Imagine that you sit in a cellar of the destroyed house the third days. You do not have water, meal and medicines. Near to you the baby, remained without mother. Near to you the corpse of your neighbour who already starts to decay. Near to you the person whom you do not know bleeds profusely, and you cannot render it medical aid. Your hearing has already got used to explosions of rockets and artillery bombs, but you listen to any sounds. You ask God that the baby would not wake up and has not begun to cry, because it will be heard by the Georgian soldiers and at once will throw in a cellar a grenade. You already know that the girl who lived in the next house and which you loved, has been burnt live in a shed with the girlfriend. You saw, how the Georgian soldiers have flooded a cellar in which people, and as they beat women, which tried to get out of a cellar. You have almost gone mad of this madness and you ask the God that though someone in this terrible world has executed ” disproportionate use of force ” in relation to murderers who have killed 2000 peace persons for these days… Do not trust Saakashvili and Bush, they liars and murderers!

Четвертый день продолжаются военные действия в Южной Осетии. Эскалация конфликта унесла жизни уже более 2 тыс. мирных жителей и 15 миротворцев. Ранены сотни человек, среди них российские журналисты и командующий 58-й армией генерал-лейтенант Анатолий Хрулев. Грузинская сторона о своих потерях не сообщает.
Цхинвали почти полностью разрушен. Под завалами остаются тысячи мирных жителей. Более 150 человек оказались под развалинами городской больницы, разрушенной 8 августа 2008г. Однако российским военным удалось подавить огневые точки грузин, благодаря чему обстрел югоосетинской столицы был прекращен. Ниже приведена хроника событий грузино-осетинского противостояния.
Накануне войны
Незадолго до полуночи 7 августа Грузия начала массированный обстрел югоосетинской столицы Цхинвали. Удары наносились с применением тяжелой артиллерии, установок залпового огня “Град”, крупнокалиберных минометов. Огонь целенаправленно велся по жилым кварталам, большинство снарядов разрывалось в центре города.
День первый – 8 августа
Вскоре после начала обстрела Грузия официально уведомила российских миротворцев, размещенных в зоне грузино-осетинского конфликта, о начале войны против Южной Осетии. Командующий грузинскими миротворцами Мамука Курашвили назвал происходящее “наведением конституционного порядка в Южной Осетии”. Российским миротворцам было предложено не вмешиваться в военную операцию.
Южная Осетия обратилась к мировому сообществу с просьбой “принять срочные меры по защите мирного населения от грузинской агрессии”. В ответ на эти призывы в Южную Осетию из Северной Осетии и Абхазии направились тысячи добровольцев. Абхазия выдвинула войска к границе с Грузией.
Россия потребовала созвать экстренное заседание Совета Безопасности ООН по ситуации в Южной Осетии.
Около 04:30 грузинская пехота при поддержке танков и авиации начала штурм Цхинвали. Югоосетинские военные встретили нападавших плотным огнем. Параллельно стали поступать сообщения об обстреле позиций российских миротворцев. Вскоре грузинское командование сообщило о взятии города.
В 07:00 по московскому времени началось экстренное заседание СБ ООН. В итоге Совбез отказался принять предложение России и осудить использование силы в грузино-осетинском конфликте. Дипломаты лишь обменялись мнениями и выразили беспокойство по поводу роста напряженности в зоне конфликта.
В течение ночи и утра 8 августа в Цхинвали было уничтожено большое количество мирных зданий, в том числе республиканская больница, а также здание правительства Южной Осетии. В результате обстрела город был поставлен на грань гуманитарной катастрофы. Появились первые беженцы, которые под огнем грузинских снайперов предприняли попытку покинуть охваченный огнем город.
На фоне продолжающихся боев за Цхинвали, куда начали прибывать добровольцы из Абхазии и Северной Осетии, а также информации, согласно которой российские ВВС приступили к бомбардировке военных объектов в Грузии, президент страны М.Саакашвили объявил всеобщую мобилизацию. Чуть позже, выступая перед иностранными журналистами, он обвинил Россию в военной агрессии против Грузии.
Тем временем начали поступать первые сведения о потерях среди российских миротворцев. В результате прямого попадания артиллерийского снаряда в штаб миротворцев в Цхинвали погибли несколько человек. После этого президент РФ Дмитрий Медведев пообещал, что виновные в гибели российских граждан понесут “заслуженное наказание”, а премьер-министр РФ Владимир Путин заявил, что агрессия Грузии в Южной Осетии вызовет ответные действия со стороны России.
Около 15:30 мск на территорию Южной Осетии вступили части 58-й армии Минобороны РФ. Пока колонна российских танков приближалась к Цхинвали, ВВС России наносили удары по расположениям грузинских войск в городе и его окрестностях. Грузинские военные начали отступать после того, как по ним заработали орудия подразделений РФ, вошедших в югоосетинскую столицу.
Потеряв контроль над Цхинвали, Грузия попросила мировое сообщество оказать давление на Москву, чтобы прекратить “прямую военную агрессию” на грузинской территории.
Вечером 8 августа российские войска подавили грузинские огневые точки, обстреливавшие Цхинвали и позиции российских миротворцев. ВВС РФ также нанесли удары по авиабазам в Грузии, уничтожив несколько самолетов. По данным грузинской стороны, в результате бомбардировок военного аэродрома в Марнеули погибли 3 человека.
По итогам первого дня войны число погибших мирных жителей приблизилось к 1,5 тыс. человек. Большинство из них являлись гражданами России. Кроме того, под обстрелами погибли 12 российских миротворцев, 50 миротворцев были ранены. Цхинвали был поставлен на грань гуманитарной катастрофы, 10 населенных пунктов были стерты грузинскими войсками с лица земли.
Второй день – 9 августа
С 0 часов 9 августа Россия прекратила воздушное сообщение с Грузией.
В ночь на субботу в окрестностях Цхинвали шли бои, грузинская артиллерия несколько раз открывала огонь по расположению российских миротворцев. В ответ ВВС РФ наносили удары по грузинским огневым точкам, находящимся как на территории Южной Осетии, так и на территории Грузии.
К утру части 58-й российской армии заняли позиции на подступах к Цхинвали и начали подготовку к операции “по принуждению к миру”. Позднее в Южную Осетию были переброшены части 76-й псковской воздушно-десантной дивизии.
Между тем Совбез ООН провел второе экстренное заседание по Южной Осетии. Оно прошло в закрытом режиме, представители стран выступили с очередными заявлениями, однако окончательного решения принять снова не удалось.
К полудню 9 августа тактическим группам 58-й российской армии удалось полностью вытеснить грузинских военных из Цхинвали. В городе была организована эвакуация раненых российских миротворцев и гражданского населения в больницы РФ в Северную Осетию. Во Владикавказе начал работу штаб по оказанию помощи пострадавшим в результате боевых действий.
Минобороны РФ тем временем признало потерю двух российских самолетов в зоне грузино-осетинского конфликта. По словам военного командования, были сбиты Су-25 и Ту-22. По данным грузинских СМИ, один пилот погиб, второй находится в плену на территории Грузии.
После полудня грузинская артиллерия возобновила обстрел позиций российских миротворцев в Цхинвали. Спустя несколько часов огневые точки противника были подавлены ответным огнем. К вечеру грузинская сторона заявила о прекращении огня и отводе своих подразделений за пределы Южной Осетии. Однако в действительности стрельба не прекратилась.
В самой Грузии парламент страны на чрезвычайном заседании единогласно утвердил декрет президента Михаила Саакашвили о введении военного положения на всей территории республики сроком на 15 дней. К такому шагу грузинское руководство подтолкнула Абхазия, которая фактически открыла второй фронт, нанеся ракетно-бомбовые удары по расположениям грузинских войск в верхней части Кодорского ущелья.
Президент РФ Д.Медведев по телефону разъяснил ситуацию в Южной Осетии американскому президенту Джорджу Бушу, который ранее призвал Россию прекратить бомбить Грузию. По словам российского президента, единственным выходом из кризиса в Южной Осетии является вывод Грузией своих вооруженных формирований из зоны конфликта, возвращение на путь мирных договоренностей, и прежде всего – подписание юридически обязывающего соглашения о неприменении силы. В свою очередь Дж.Буш выразил обеспокоенность эскалацией конфликта.
Между тем грузинские войска предприняли очередную попытку завладеть Цхинвали. При этом они целенаправленно уничтожали все мирное население, которое попадалось им на пути. Тем самым подтвердилась неоднократно высказанная руководством РФ точка зрения, согласно которой главной целью Тбилиси в этой войне является геноцид осетинского народа. Впрочем, атака была отбита, а грузинская сторона, по данным Южной Осетии, понесла значительные потери.
Всего, по имеющимся данным, в районе Цхинвали днем 9 августа действовали 7400 грузинских военных, 100 танков и артиллерийские орудия.
Кроме того, грузинские танковые подразделения под покровом темноты попытались установить контроль над стратегической Зарской дорогой, связывающей Цхинвали с Северной Осетией. Это им также не удалось.
Поздно вечером в Южной Осетии во время обстрела российской колонны получил ранение командующий 58-й армией генерал-лейтенант Анатолий Хрулев. Он был доставлен во Владикавказ, где ему сделали операцию.
Второй день войны завершился также известием о том, что Азербайджан прекратил экспорт нефти через территорию Грузии. Как сообщил президент Государственной нефтяной компании Азербайджана Ровнаг Абдулаев, вывоз и ввоз нефти остановлен через порты Батуми и Кулеви. Компания рассматривает возможность экспорта нефти через нефтепровод Баку-Новороссийск.
Количество мирных жителей, погибших в результате нападения Грузии на Южную Осетию, к концу дня оценивалось в 2 тыс. человек. Потери российских миротворческих сил составили 15 человек убитыми. По данным грузинской стороны, в боях под Цхинвали погибли 150 военнослужащих Грузии.
Третий день – 10 августа
Всю ночь с 9 на 10 августа в зоне грузино-осетинского конфликта шел бой за господствующие над Цхинвали Присские высоты. В небе над столицей Южной Осетии сбит грузинский бомбардировщик. Сообщается также, что подбито 12 грузинских танков. Командующий смешанными силами по поддержанию мира (ССПМ) в зоне грузино-осетинского конфликта генерал-майор Марат Кулахметов заявил, что “обстановка остается напряженной. Никакого переговорного процесса как такового нет, договоренностей каких-то между сторонами нет”, – сказал он.
Президент Южной Осетии Эдуард Кокойты призвал добровольцев, желающих помочь республике повременить. “Пока у нас в Южной Осетии хватит сил. Есть замечательные ребята из российских вооруженных сил. Поэтому я очень бы хотел, чтобы все, кто желает сюда приехать знали: пока не время, а если что – приезжайте организованно”, – сказал он.
Продолжились консультации в ООН. Постоянный представитель России при Организации Объединенных Наций Виталий Чуркин заявил, что действия грузинских властей в непризнанной республике следует квалифицировать как геноцид. “Это очевидная гуманитарная катастрофа для Южной Осетии, столица которой разрушена, десяток деревень сровняли с землей. Налицо все факты геноцида и военных преступлений”, – указал В.Чуркин.
Также стало известно, что президент России Дмитрий Медведев намерен поручить военной прокуратуре задокументировать все преступления, совершенные против населения Южной Осетии. “Речь идет о судьбе наших граждан, мы все за них в ответе. Все те преступления, которые там совершены, должны быть самым тщательным образом задокументированы и впоследствии должны быть подвергнуты самому тщательному анализу – вплоть до наступления уголовной ответственности конкретных лиц, их совершивших”, – сказал президент.
Премьер-министр РФ Владимир Путин вернулся из Северной Осетии. На встрече с президентом Д.Медведевым он сообщил, что как только позволит обстановка на территории Южной Осетии, будет развернут второй госпиталь МЧС. Кроме того, российское правительство намерено выделить не менее 10 млрд рублей на восстановление жилья в Цхинвали и приграничных населенных пунктах, заявил В.Путин. “Мы готовы эту сумму увеличить, но это можно будет сделать в результате серьезного анализа реальной ситуации, которая сложится на момент восстановления”, – сказал он.
Утром начались переговоры между грузинскими и российскими военными об открытии гуманитарного коридора через Цхинвали для прохода мирного населения.
Также стало известно об эвакуации из Грузии западных дипломатов. Госдеп США разрешил семьям своих сотрудников покинуть Грузию.
Президент Украины Виктор Ющенко поручил правительству в трехдневный срок обеспечить предоставление гуманитарной помощи Грузии для гражданского населения, которое страдает в результате обострения конфликта Южной Осетии. Кроме того, официальный Киев предостерег российскую сторону от возможного участия кораблей Черноморского флота России в конфликте вокруг Южной Осетии. “С целью предотвращения возникновения обстоятельств, при которых Украина может быть втянута в вооруженный конфликт и военные действия из-за участия в них военных формирований ЧФ РФ, который временно базируется на территории Украины, украинская сторона оставляет за собой право, согласно нормам международного права и законодательства Украины, запретить возвращение на территорию Украины до разрешения конфликта кораблей и судов, которые могут принять участие в вышеуказанных действиях”, – говорилось в заявлении украинского МИДа.
Около полудня глава МЧС России Сергей Шойгу на селекторном рабочем совещании во Владикавказе отдал поручения о принятии первоочередных мер по восстановлению жилья и систем жизнеобеспечения в Южной Осетии. Согласно данным, озвученным на совещании, уже подготовлены шесть станций для очистки воды и 33 автономных электростанции, которые планируется направить в Южную Осетию. Прорабатывается вопрос об оказании субъектами Южного федерального округа гуманитарной помощи в виде строительных материалов для оперативного начала восстановительных работ в Южной Осетии.
Российский Генштаб сообщил, что большая часть Цхинвали контролируется миротворческими силами. В ведомстве также добавили, что российская сторона не наносила воздушных ударов ни по одному населенному пункту в Грузии. Российская авиация применяется в Южной Осетии только по воинским формированиям, заявил заместитель начальника Генштаба Вооруженных сил РФ генерал-полковник Анатолий Ноговицын. Он также опроверг сообщения грузинской стороны о 12 сбитых российских самолетах.
Между тем западные политики продолжили комментировать ситуацию в зоне конфликта. Так, Джеймс Джеффри, заместитель советника президента США по национальной безопасности, заявил, что действия России в Грузии могут нанести вред российско-американским отношениям. “Мы сожалеем об опасных и непропорциональных действиях российских вооруженных сил, и мы будем еще более обеспокоены, если эти атаки будут продолжены, в то время как грузинская сторона начала отступление”. А глава МИД Франции Бернар Кушнер сравнил конфликт в Южной Осетии с войной на Балканах. По его словам, конфликт между Россией и Грузией вокруг Южной Осетии является эскалацией насилия у порога Европы. “Причина этой эскалации кроется в неспособности сторон достичь соглашения о выходе из того, что они называют замороженным конфликтом в Южной Осетии”, – заявил французский дипломат.
В свою очередь заместитель главы МИД России Григорий Карасин заявил, что Запад препятствует осуществлению операции по принуждению к миру в зоне грузино-осетинского конфликта. “Западные страны повели себя странно в первые часы агрессии по отношению к Южной Осетии, невнятно замолчав, – подчеркнул дипломат. – Потом, как по команде, некоторые страны заняли позицию критики по отношению к России и сейчас препятствуют осуществлению операции по принуждению к миру, ставя под сомнение методы, цели, темпы”.
Тем временем ситуация в Цхинвали продолжала оставаться напряженной. Под обстрел попала группа российских журналистов. К вечеру около югоосетинской столицы был развернут госпиталь МЧС и шесть операционных, сообщил глава МЧС России Сергей Шойгу.
Абхазские военные открыли “второй фронт”. Они целый день они наносили воздушные и артиллерийские удары по грузинским позициям в верхней части Кодорского ущелья. Во второй половине дня стало известно, что абхазские подразделения расположились в зоне ответственности миротворческих сил. Представитель президента Абхазии Кристиан Джания заявил, что пока не планируется переходить на грузинскую территорию.
Ближе к вечеру Грузия уведомила МИД РФ о приказе Михаила Саакашвили о прекращении огня. Министерство иностранных дел Грузии заявило, что грузинские войска выведены из Южной Осетии.
Стало известно, что Министры иностранных дел России и Грузии приступили к переговорам. Заместитель главы внешнеполитического ведомства Германии заявил, что установлен “прямой контакт”. После этого глава МИД Сергей Лавров заявил о необходимости безоговорочного вывода грузинских войск из зоны конфликта. В телефонном разговоре с министром иностранных дел Грузии Экой Ткешелашвили российский дипломат указал на то, что грузинские войска не покинули зону конфликта вопреки заявлению властей Грузии.
Около десяти вечера было объявлено, что Цхинвали полностью перешел под контроль российских миротворцев. Об этом сообщил помощник командующего ССПМ Владимир Иванов. По его словам, грузинские войска отходят к административной границе с Южной Осетией.
Около 23:00 мск стало ясно, что корабли Военно-морского флота России отбили атаки грузинских ракетных катеров. Командование Военно-морского флота России официально подтвердило данный факт. Было разъяснено, что грузинские ракетные катера предприняли две попытки атаковать российские военные корабли. Корабли ВМФ РФ ответным огнем потопили один из грузинских катеров, участвовавших в атаке.
День завершился очередным антироссийским выпадом со стороны западных политиков. США заподозрили Россию в заинтересованности в “смене режима” в Грузии. С таким заявлением выступил посол США в ООН Залмай Хализад после того, как глава российского внешнеполитического ведомства Сергей Лавров объявил своей американской коллеге Кондолизе Райс, что президент Грузии “должен уйти”.
Глава российского МИДа в ответ заявил, что уход М.Саакашвили не является обязательным условием разрешения конфликта, однако Россия больше не может рассматривать его как партнера.
День четвертый – 11 августа
Ночью с 10 на 11 августа в зону конфликта переброшены дополнительные силы российских миротворцев. Также сообщается, что в пяти районах Абхазии введено военное положение. По некоторым данным, только в Кодорском ущелье действуют несколько тысяч грузинских военных, в том числе диверсионные группы.

Об этом сообщила РБК официальный представитель правительства Южной Осетии Ирина Гаглоева. “В окрестностях Цхинвали задержаны две грузинские диверсионные группы численностью 8 и 11 человек соответственно, – уточнила представитель правительства Южной Осетии. – В настоящее время они содержатся под усиленной охраной, так как существует опасность, что местные жители устроят над ними самосуд”. По предварительной информации, в одной из этих групп был афроамериканец.
Между тем в Абхазии вступил в силу указ президента “О введении военного положения на территории Гальского района, Ткварчельского района, Очамчирского района, Гульрипшского района и части Сухумского района в границах населенных пунктов: Псху, Агра, Гума, Акапа, Дзыгута, Верхний Кяласур”. Тем же указом на территории Республики Абхазии объявлена частичная мобилизация.
Также стало известно, что Россия и Грузия договорились не применять авиацию в зоне конфликта. Соглашения достигли командующий миротворческими силами Сергей Чабан и губернатор Мегрелии Заза Горозиа. Как заявил Сергей Чабан, договоренность не распространяется на Цхинвальский регион.
В целом, эта ночь в зоне конфликта прошла относительно спокойно. Об этом сообщил помощник командующего Смешанными силами по поддержанию мира (ССПМ) в зоне грузино-осетинского конфликта капитан Владимир Иванов.
Однако не обошлось без громких обвинительных заявлений. Вице-президент США Дик Чейни, находящийся в Пекине, позвонил президенту Грузии Михаилу Саакашвили, чтобы выразить поддержку в конфликте с Россией относительно Южной Осетии. “Российская агрессия не должна оставаться безнаказанной”, – заявил он. Д.Чейни также выразил “солидарность с демократическим правительством Грузии перед лицом угрозы ее суверенитету и территориальной целостности”.
В свою очередь, президент США Джордж Буш заявил, что стороны, вовлеченные в грузино-осетинский конфликт, должны отвести войска на позиции на момент 6 августа. По словам Дж.Буша в недавно состоявшемся разговоре с премьер-министром РФ Владимиром Путиным, он выразил глубокую озабоченность относительно “неадекватного ответа” России на действия Грузии в Южной Осетии. “Насилие неприемлемо, сказал я Владимиру, войска должны занять позиции на момент 6 августа”, – заявил сегодня Дж.Буш.
Тем временем во Владикавказ доставлена вторая группа раненых, эвакуированных из Цхинвальской городской больницы. Как сообщили в Министерстве здравоохранения и социального развития Южной Осетии, всего во Владикавказ прибыли около 100 человек, пострадавших в Цхинвали в результате боевых действий.
Ближе к утру стало известно, что Грузия открыла оросительный канал и затапливает западную часть Цхинвали. Вода начала заливать западную часть города. По всей видимости, грузинская сторона хочет затопить подвалы домов и лишить жителей города возможности укрыться от бомбовых ударов.
В Республику Абхазию введена группировка Вооруженных сил России, насчитывающая более 9 тыс. военнослужащих и более 350 единиц бронетехники. Об этом сообщил помощник командующего Смешанными силами по поддержанию мира (ССПМ) в зоне конфликта Александр Новицкий.
Также было заявлено, что грузинские военные полностью заблокированы абхазскими вооруженными силами в верхней части Кодорского ущелья, сообщили в Министерстве обороны непризнанной республики. В то же время Абхазия готова предоставить Грузии коридор для вывода из ущелья военных и мирных жителей. Если грузинская сторона не воспользуется данным предложением, абхазская армия начнет операцию по уничтожению заблокированных в ущелье военных.
В результате ночного обстрела Цхинвали из установок залпового огня “Град” погибли 3 миротворца, еще 18 получили ранение, сообщила руководитель Государственного комитета по информации и печати Южной Осетии Ирина Гаглоева. По ее словам, обстреливалась местность в западной части города в районе Присских высот.

В пресс-службе Минкомсвязи пояснили, что почтовые отправления и посылки не принимаются по факту, поскольку прекращено воздушное сообщение с Грузией, которое было основным каналом связи. “Что касается денежных переводов, они не принимаются по техническим причинам, что связано с нарушениями на линиях связи, – сказал представитель министерства, подчеркнув, что распоряжения о прекращении почтового сообщения с Грузией не было.
В настоящее время в районе городе Гори (Грузия) сосредоточены 80 танков, с помощью которых грузинская сторона планирует вновь возобновить атаку на Цхинвали. Об этом говорится в сообщении Государственного комитета по информации и печати Южной Осетии. Власти непризнанной республики ожидают нового обострения ситуации в зоне конфликта.

What did Saakashvili was the crime against humanity. He attacked innocent civilians killing 2000 people making other 30000 refugees and he destroyed the city of Tshinvali. As a peacekeeping forces Russians have moral obligations to fight the agressor to prevent further killing of civilians by Georgian Army.
I can not imagine how one can support Saakashvili after what he did.

Mikheil Saakashvili is a dictator running for cover, America is trying to protect him. The EU doesn’t like him very much and he may have done his last thing with the attempt to crush seperatist movement in Ossetia, Abkhazia under the cover of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. America, well Bush administration is talking big words, they’re on the way out and it’s all hypocrasy because America invade Iraq without cause so Russia can use that for excuse.
Art_Gould said
Mikheil Saakashvili is scared because he knows that there’s dissent in his country. His power is based on economics and not democracy. His attempt to crush the seperatist movement in S. Ossetia, and Abkhazia shows his dictorship agenda. Just because America says you’re democratic doesn’t mean that’s true. To the U.S. democracy is open for interpretation. U.S. considers Egypt a democracy, though they torture people and is pretty much a one party system where the U.S. ally always win. So democracy is a point of view, most Georgians just think that downtown Tablisi will turn into New York city if they sell themselves out like Poland and some of these other eastern European countries. Ukraine hasn’t gained much from the Orange revolution, and fact Yushenko’s government is struggling to stay in power.

Saakashvili is an actor. When he was a schoolboy he played in school theatre. He wants to deceive world. Russia did not attack
Georgia. Georgia attacked South Ossetia and killed 1600 people. Russia stoped genocide. Saakashvili is liar and war criminal. People, don’t belive to Saakashvili. Saakashvili is new Hitler.
Saakashvili is fascist. Saakashvili will be burn in hell together with Hitler.
Cold war is back said
This war is only Russia’s a not-direct revenge for EU countries and USA for acknowledging Kosovo.
What did Russia do when Serbian facists were killing Croatian or Bosnian people?
Nothing but encouraging Serbian criminals to continue genocide in the Balkan area.
The good ole CCCP is back… Pity for the civilized world.

Hi guys. My name is Alex, and I’m from Russia, but I insist on reading this with attention. Excuse me for not good English – I never specially studied it.
Every country imagines every other country in not so right way. For example, many of us think that all the yankees are stupid and not ready to live anywhere outside their sweet homes, we think that every man in Scotland spends all the day in skirt. I’m sure that these two opinions are just a result of different nations don’t know each other enough. So…
First of all, I swear that I don’t hate Georgians, I’m not fanatic of Medvedev & Putin, and I was never been in the battlefront. Somebodies, who say here that “Russia occupies Georgian cities, eliminate civillians and has forgotten any border in its agression”, are not right. What do you know about Russia? Nothing… Our large country has thousands of problems, inherited by communists. When Japan, Europe and USA was working on microprocessors and cars, USSR was working on “what the hell the stupid thing”… We lost 70 yrs… But you must know, that now we run so fast to reach your level of developement. And we have some success in it. Too large country to make smth in a second. We are not brown bears in winter hats on our hears, like astronauts in the Armageddon cinema
So, stop this word-shitthrowing into Russia. You should know, that M. Saakhaskvili, without telling anybody anything, destroyed the Tshinvali. It was the “Clear plain” operation. He used the “Grad” artillery weapons. The function of “Grad” is eliminating everything on a big area – buildins, people, wires, pipes, transport, roars – EVERYTHING. One “Grad” maschine starts 40 heavy missiles, which clean 15 square kilometers of area. “Setting the constitution order” and “destroying the whole city full of civillians” – different things, especially if its name is “The clear plain”… THIS is true information. Information about “Russia occupating Georgia” is lie. Saakashvili never been in places of conflict – Gori, Tshinvali. 75 % of what he sais is lies. Russia destroyed possibility of second attack by Georgia – that’s all that we’ve done. No occupies cities, no killed civilians in Georgia, no burned houses – all this is lies.
Russian President Medvedev all that has done – destroyes Geordian military forces, which had started establishing fascism in Ossetia. Why USA bombed Kosovo? I think it’s the same operation. I live in Russia, and I know about My Country much more that you. And you may be sure that our president doesn’t want any war or even conflict. We all don’t hate any nation. Era of Hitler is in the far far past. We want to live, to love, to exchange our experience in all the life aspects with all the world. But I know, that if only the one NATO soldies killes russian soldier, or russian soldier killes NATO’s – we fill forget what is Moscow, what is Washington, what is Sun, we will fell only the cold of nuclear winter. We and USA have too mucn nuclear fusion bombs, which can erase Moscow and New York from the Earth map in a 15 sec. I don’t want it. Is anybody who wants?

[b]GPS оборудование [/b]
GPS – глобальная система позиционирования, определение местоположения путём измерения расстояний до объекта от точек с известными координатами — спутников. Расстояние вычисляется по времени задержки распространения сигнала от посылки его спутником до приёма антенной GPS-приёмника. То есть, для определения трёхмерных координат GPS-приёмнику нужно знать расстояние до трёх спутников и время GPS системы[1]. Таким образом, для определения координат и высоты приёмника, используются сигналы как минимум с четырёх спутников.
[b]GSM оборудование [/b]
GSM-системы (on-line системы) позволяют получать информацию от оборудования мониторинга по каналам передачи операторов мобильной связи. Таким образом, съем информации с оборудования происходит в любой момент времени без непосредственного доступа к нему. В этом состоит основное преимущество GSM-систем перед off-line системами, требующими непосредственного подключения модулей мониторинга к персональному компьютеру. Наше оборудование поддерживает все технологии передачи информации по сети GSM: SMS, CSD, GPRS, Voice.
[b]Счетчики топлива [/b]
Применение топливных счетчиков позволяет предприятиям получить объективную информацию о времени работы машин, вести постоянный контроль реального потребления горючего. При помощи DFM можно разработать нормы расхода ГСМ на отдельных маршрутах и технологических операциях.
Экономический эффект применения приборов учета топлива различен на разных предприятиях, обычно от 10 до 40 %, в зависимости от запущенности исходной ситуации и настойчивости менеджмента автопредприятия.
