Russia says Ukraine helping Georgia
MOSCOW, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Russia accused Ukraine on Saturday of encouraging Georgia to carry out "ethnic cleansing" in the separatist region of South Ossetia by providing arms, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
"The Ukrainian government, which has been enthusiastically arming Georgian troops from top to bottom, was in fact encouraging Georgia to attack and carry out ethnic cleansing in South Ossetia," the ministry said in a statement on its website www.mid.ru.

Mmmmm. Wonder why.
Could get even more messy. What do average Russians think?
Reports suggest that the Russians are taking a beating on the ground despite their air superiority.
Do (or did?) the Ukrainian forces have nukes?
I think that the term “ethnic cleansing” has now completely lost its original meaning.
Good question. A possible indicator might be to see how their athletes perform in Beijing. Lackluster performances might suggest lack of enthusiasm for this resurgence of Russian Imperialism.
Doesn’t the Ukraine have a few nukes over there??
The propaganda mills are now in full operation.
Only FR can filter it out.
We have some newly signed up anti-US trolls as well be on the lookout.
Reason enough to invade Ukraine as well.(sarc)
If Georgia falls, Ukraine knows that it’s next. Russia wants to control Europe’s access to energy.
No, because our great President, William Jefferson Clinton, made Ukraine give them up.
Bring it on Putin! The lunatic creep makes no secret that he dreams of having a common border with Germany and Iran again.
The Georgian President has called for a cease fire.
Game over.
As usual, Russia is the aggressor, the invader, the imperialist cause of war. The USSR may be dead, but Putin is doing the same thing Hitler did, invading. It appears that Putin has already killed 1,500 civilians. Will the world just sit and watch?
Do (or did?) the Ukrainian forces have nukes?
yes
Obama will make Jimmy Carter look like a patriotic genius.
