New Delhi, Aug. 8 : The Russian Federation on Friday accused Georgia of backtracking on an agreement that was aimed at restoring peace in South Ossetia.

A Russian Foreign Ministry statement claimed that Georgian military units undertook “a treacherous, massive attack on Tskhinvali” hours after the leaderships of the two countries had arrived at an understanding to end the “conflict in South Ossetia”.

The statement further went on to question the credibility of the Georgian leadership, which it said was a “responsible participant of the negotiation process and of the international intercourse corresponding to the principles of the United Nations Charter”.
