Russia moving into Georgia

Russia is now moving away from the break away regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Georgian soldiers have left very quickly from the Georgian (outside of the break away regions) town of Gori with fears that the Russians will take Gori they have also closed all roads into Gori, this means there is no way to know what is happening in Gori but some soldiers told reporters they think the Russians may have taken the town of Gori. The soldiers also think the Russians may head to the capital, but this can't be confirmed. Russian troops have also been seen in the Georgian town of Zugdidi. America has hinted that Russia may be aiming to remove the Georgian government.

All diplomatic channels appear to be used to stop this conflict. Russia is claiming Gerogia is trying to wipe out South Ossetia, which would be a war crime and as Georgia is a member of the ICC it could mean the Georgian leaders could be taken to The Hague if this is true. Georgia is claiming Russia is trying to defeat "small Georgia" who is actually right? Who knows? Properly neither party.

The French President Nicolas Sarkozy will visit both Moscow and Tibilisi in an effort to broker a peace agreement. Additionally NATO will hold an emergency meeting with Russia to try and move towards a peace agreement. the UN security council is meeting for the 5th time to try and get a peace agreement.

Cyberattacks appear to be a new weapon in this War, both Russian and Georgian websites have been defaced or suffered DDoS attacks.

UPDATE 1: More on Cyberattacks: Civil.ge a site sponsored by USAID and the Swiss Government is suffering from DDoS and has set up a blog as an alternative. This is lookng similar to the Estonia cyberattack in 2007 which Russia is believed to be behind. This would make sense as the Russian Buisness Network (RBN) is known to have a huge botnet capable of DDoS attacks.

UPDATE 2: UN Security Council have independent report that Russian troops have moved outside of the breakaway areas. Are they heading for the capital? Lets hope not!

UPDATE 3: The French appear to be taking the lead of diplomacy. However the Russians have rejected the French ceasefire proposal at the UN, I believe the French President will be in Moscow later today.
