Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has ordered an end to military operations against Georgia, the Kremlin says.
He told officials he had decided to end the campaign after restoring security for Russian citizens and peacekeepers in South Ossetia.
However, Russia has been highly critical of Georgia's leadership, and there were no signs of imminent talks.
Before Mr Medvedev's statement, there were fresh reports of Russian warplanes bombing the Georgian town of Gori.
Witnesses told the BBC that several people were killed when a bomb hit a hospital in the town, which is 10 miles (15km) from the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali...........
