Russia and Georgia continue fighting, while a delegation of European Union officials have been attempting to negotiate a cease-fire. The BBC reports that "Georgia said dozens of Russian bombers attacked targets inside its territory, including around Tbilisi and Gori. Russia said Georgian attacks on the South Ossetian capital Tskhinvali killed three of its troops. Georgia's president backed a draft EU ceasefire proposal for a ceasefire, but Moscow reportedly rejected the plan." Russian Prime Minister (and former President) Putin criticized "the United States for airlifting Georgian troops from Iraq. Putin said Monday that the U.S. move will hamper efforts to solve Russia's conflict with Georgia over the breakaway province of South Ossetia. The U.S. military has begun flying 2,000 Georgian troops home from Iraq after Georgia recalled them," reported Yahoo News.
