Here are the developments from overnight:

- Russia sent the Black Sea fleet and blockaded Georgia
- Ukraine said it will not allow Russian ships from passing through its territorial waters
- Georgian troops have retreated from Tskhinvali, which is now under Russian control
- Russia said it will only agree to a ceasefire that would allow for a return to the status quo ante, and a freeing of ‘towns occupied by Georgia’
- Russia bombed a military factory and a runway near Tbilisi airport
- US called in a statement, Russia’s actions “dangerous and disproportionate”
- Abkhazia is deploying troops in Kodori Gorge

So, for now the war seems to be over in Ossetia, but Georgia is now under a Russian blockade and Abkhazia could explode at any time.

The US is taking a somewhat tougher stance against Russia, but will it be enough to stop Russia?
