GORI, Georgia - Russian troops are still blocking entrance to the city of Gori in war-battered Georgia. Doubt remains about whether Russia will honor an agreement to pull back its forces.
The city is on Georgia's main east-west road. The Russian troops' presence there effectively cuts the country in two.
A cease-fire agreement calls for Russian forces to pull back to the positions they held before fighting that broke out a week ago in the separatist region of South Ossetia. The conflict has since seen Russian forces enter Georgia proper.
A Georgia Interior Ministry spokesman says there are no Russian troops in the second-largest city of Kutaisi, despite reports they were headed in that direction overnight. - AP
