There IS a state of war between Russia and Georgia. RussiaToday.com and
RussiaToday television has stated so from the outset: big headlines: "THE WAR
IS ON". They are acting as if in a war, bombing all over Georgia, civilians
included, and away from both Abkhazia and "South Ossetia." Georgia's only port
is destroyed, so who needs a blockade. Now a two-front war. Look out for
trouble!

Russian war ships sail for Georgia
The Russian Navy has confirmed that a section of
its Black Sea Fleet is en route to the Georgian coastline. The task
force includes a missile cruiser. Military officials insist the
operation is to help refugees and is not part of an operation to
blockade Georgia.
According to a source in the Russia’s defense ministry, three
assault ships were earlier sent to the same destination.
‘This is not a sea-blockade, as a blockade would mean a state of war
with Georgia, while we are not in a state of war’, the source said.
Georgia’s National Security Council Secretary, Aleksandr Lomaya,
earlier said that Russian ships have reached the Abkhazian port of
Ochamchir.
Ukraine may bar Russia from Black Sea
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry has announced that Russian ships returning
from the Georgian shore may be refused permission to enter its
territorial waters in the Black Sea.
The ministry says Ukraine doesn’t want to be involved in the conflict
between Russia and Georgia. It underlines that the move corresponds
with the international law.
Meanwhile, Moscow remains unconvinced about Ukrainian claims of
neutrality.
Referring to the shooting down of a Russian Tu-22 bomber over Georgia,
the Defence Ministry says the Georgian military would have needed a
C-200 anti-aircraft system to carry out the attack.
According to Russia, the Georgian army did not possess such equipment
before the conflict.
Only Russia and Ukraine are armed with C-200 anti-aircraft systems,
which is leading Russian defence officials to suspect that Kiev may
have sold the equipment to Georgia.
