- Russo-Georgian_war abstract "The Russo-Georgian War (also known as the 2008 South Ossetia War, Five-Day War or August War) was an armed conflict in August 2008 between Georgia on one side, and Russia and the separatist South Ossetia and Abkhazia on the other.The 1991–92 South Ossetia War between ethnic Georgians and Ossetians had left slightly more than a half of South Ossetia under de facto control of a Russian-backed, internationally unrecognised government. Most ethnic Georgian parts of South Ossetia remained under the control of Georgia (Akhalgori district, and most villages surrounding Tskhinvali), with a Georgian, South Ossetian, Russian and North Ossetian joint peacekeeping force present in the territories. A similar situation existed in Abkhazia after the War in Abkhazia (1992–93).Tensions escalated during the summer months of 2008. Shelling by Ossetian separatists against Georgian villages began as early as August 1, drawing a sporadic response from Georgian peacekeepers and other fighters in the region. Georgia launched a large-scale military offensive against South Ossetia during the night of 7 August 2008, and recaptured most of Tskhinvali within hours. The Georgian government stated that it was responding to attacks on its peacekeepers and villages in South Ossetia, and that Russia was moving non-peacekeeping units into the country. Russia deployed units of the Russian 58th Army and Russian Airborne Troops into South Ossetia on 8 August, and launched airstrikes against Georgian forces in South Ossetia and military and logistical targets in Georgia proper. Russia claimed these actions were a necessary humanitarian intervention and peace enforcement.Russian and Ossetian forces battled Georgian forces throughout South Ossetia for four days, the heaviest fighting taking place in Tskhinvali. On 9 August, Russian naval forces blockaded a part of the Georgian coast and landed marines on the Abkhaz coast. The Georgian Navy attempted to intervene, but was defeated in a naval skirmish. Russian and Abkhaz forces opened a second front by attacking the Kodori Gorge, held by Georgia. Georgian forces put up only minimal resistance, and Russian forces subsequently raided military bases in western Georgia. After the Georgian forces retreated, the Russians temporarily occupied the Georgian cities of Poti, Gori, Senaki, and Zugdidi.Through mediation by Nicolas Sarkozy, the president of the European Union, the parties reached a preliminary ceasefire agreement on 12 August. Several weeks after signing the ceasefire agreement, Russia pulled most of its troops out of Georgia proper. However Western officials insist the troops did not return to the line where they were stationed prior to the beginning of hostilities as described in the peace plan. Russian forces remain stationed in Abkhazia and South Ossetia under bilateral agreements with the corresponding governments. Georgia and its Western allies consider Abkhazia and South Ossetia to be occupied by Russia.".
