Faced with a growing international outcry against Russia's invasion of Georgia, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has pledged to withdraw Russian troops. The announcement comes amid ongoing reports of Russian troop movements and destruction of Georgian infrastructure.
The Kremlin has called off its attack troops. But even as it suspends its armed assault on Georgia, Russia may well have fired the first shot of Cold War II.
Georgia on August 10 announced a withdrawal from the disputed territory of South Ossetia, but Russia's bombing campaign against the South Caucasus country continued apace.
