Independent Georgian TV station Rustavi 2 is reporting that foreign ministers and representatives are coming to Georgia tomorrow and won’t leave until Russia pulls out of Georgian territory completely. Not clear if that means South Ossetia and Abkhazia as well but that is doubtful at this point in the conflict with Russia in clear control and able to dictate terms and back them up with force. Countries reportedly sending representatives include France, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine among others potentially. This could turn out to be a very interesting development indeed if it is confirmed. Of course the Baltic states have issued statements of strong support for Georgia already and thus have taken risky steps that could severely jeopardize their future relations with Russia.

In other news from the US President Bush is due to address the nation at 5:15 PM EST regarding the situation in Georgia so we will report about that and have analysis forthcoming. Stay tuned…
