Russian military have claimed Georgia was defying its commitments under the ceasefire accord and was undertaking measures aimed at “restoring combat capabilities” of its armed forces.

“Although Mikheil Saakashvili has signed a six-point accord, undertaking commitment on return of Georgian troops back to their the places of their permanent location, we are today convinced that this commitment is not being fulfilled,” Interfax news agency quoted Anatoly Nogovitsin, deputy chief of the general staff of the Russian armed forces, as saying at a news conference in Moscow on August 19.

“The Georgian armed forces continue measures aimed at restoring their combat capabilities,” he was quoted by RIA Novosti news agency. “Preparations are underway for carrying out subversive actions against the Russian forces.”
