Прямой линк«Russia, IS honoring Cease Fire - it is withdrawing its troops from Georgia. Nowhere in this agreement is stipulated how fast this redeployment has to occur. It IS however stipulated that Russia is allowed to maintain patrols in the buffer zone and it IS stated clearly that Georgia is redeploying its troops away from Osetia’s border to the areas of ORIGINAL deployment.

As for not having business as usual. Let me challenge you gentlemen. Could you please name me A SINGLE Russian’s security or political concern that was not completely ignore by NATO. Name me, please, a single point that was raised by Russia over the last 10 years on which NATO bothered to consult Russia? Please, do.
NATO countries continue to ask a lot: energy, Iran, North Korea but… what exactly do they offer in return? Big, fat NOTHING. Is it surprising that in a political climate like this Russia took matters it is own hand.
As for all this funny noises from London and Washington that Russia “will not be a respected international player”, with all due respect, I love propaganda but propaganda should make minimal sense, n’est pa? Don’t know about “respected” but the last 10-15 years Russia was IGNORED as international player, so in this respect Russia has nothing to loose already. Membership in “international” organizations? I am sorry, but see above, not a single one of these “organizations” was able to address concerns and problems raised by Russia many times over for the last 10 years; sooo, what use these organizations have for Russia.
With all due respect, you can preach energy independence every day on every corner, but the reality of world is very simple - in the next 30-50 years none of the member of “golden billion” will achieve energy independence. Russia, on the other hand can always sell their oil and gas to China and India.»
