“Georgia attacked South Osettia, killing 1400 civilans. Russia’s involvement was in response to this unprovoked attack.”
lol, and now back to Pravda’s domestic news.
georgian president on cnn now!!!
It’s pretty clear from all sources - although I’ve seen anti Russian sources trying to obfuscate the obvious and hide the facts - that Georgia launched the offensive. It’s also clear that the overwhelming number of SOuth Ossetians want Georgia to get out.

Excerpt from wiki:
“After agreeing to a ceasefire, on 7 August Georgia launched a surprise military operation to take the unrecognised Republic of South Ossetia (a breakaway region of Georgia), saying that the action is a response to separatist attacks on Georgian villages. South Ossetia denies that these attacks have occurred... On 8 August, Russia, which had troops in South Ossetia, responded by moving its troops across the border, bringing tanks and artillery into South Ossetia.”
