The U.S. Department of State said it has yet to review a voluminous report by EU-funded fact-finding mission into the August war.

“I think we recognize that all sides made mistakes and miscalculations through the conflict last year,” Philip J. Crowley, the U.S. assistant secretary of state, said on September 30. “But our focus is on the future and we hope that Georgia and Russia – we expect them both to abide by the agreements that they made under the ceasefire agreements in August and September of last year, and we expect them to live up to those commitments.”

“And In the meantime, we continue to express our strong support for Georgia’s territorial integrity,” he added.
