Restoring Order in the Transcaucasus

2. He didn't even bother

days of heavy skirmishing between Georgian troops and Russian-backed
separatist militias in the breakaway republic of South Ossetia, Mikhail
Saakashvili, the Georgian President, went on television on Thursday
evening to announce that he had ordered an immediate unilateral
ceasefire.
