Medvedev Signs Peace Pact

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev today signed a ceasefire agreement ending hostilities with Georgia. Sources said he views the 6-point pact as "very positive," CNN reports. Russia, however, will not withdraw from Georgian territory until troops have finished removing "huge depots" of ammunition, weapons and boobytraps left by Georgian troops, said a government spokesman.

Russian troops continued to occupy large sections of Georgia, and Russia's foreign minister said they would stay "as long as needed," the New York Times reports. Georgian President Mikheil Saakashavili signed the French-brokered deal yesterday during a visit by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. President Bush yesterday accused Moscow of "bullying" its smaller neighbor. (More Russia stories.)
