MOSCOW: The U.S. ambassador to Russia has told a Russian daily that Washington strongly urged Georgia not to invade its breakaway province of South Ossetia.
John Beyrle also told the Kommersant Friday that Russia "gave a well-grounded response" to a Georgian attack on Russian peacekeepers, but exceeded its authority by invading Georgia proper.
Beyrle was quoted as saying that Russia should respect a cease-fire deal and withdraw its troops from the ex-Soviet neighbor to positions they held before the fighting erupted.
The short but intense war near Russia's southern border has deeply strained relations between Moscow and the West.
The fighting began Aug. 7, when Georgia launched a barrage targeting South Ossetia, but Russian forces quickly drove the Georgians back.

peaceloving georgians don't need a warning not to launch military forces even on the own territory, which belongs to georgians for centuries... there was a ''prelude'' for doing that , otherwise person should be insane to oppose against well equipped , incomarably, overwhelmingly numerous russian troops... this opposition would be easier to imagine to picture the sheep and the wolf against each other...thanks to God to bring together the powerful countries to support and at least not to leave scapegoat georgia to russians for the eradication of this unique nation, however georgian territories are still under the control of russian imperialists and nobody knows if 82% refugees from abkhazia and over 55% from so -called south osetia will ever be able to return to their homeland...
