Medvedev: Goal Achieved, Operation Ends.


Russian President Dimitri Medvedev said that he has made a decision to end “the peace enforcement operation” in Georgia.

“On the basis of your report I decided to end the operation of forcing the Georgian authorities to peace,” Medvedev said while meeting with Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov and Chief of General Staff Nikolai Makarov. “The goal of the operation has been achieved.”

He also instructed the top military officials to suppress any resistance in case of emergence of any violence in the South Ossetian conflict zone.
