Georgia and Russia agree on truce
13 Aug 2008
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has agreed an outline plan with Russia and Georgia to try to resolve their crisis.
A key element calls for all forces to return to the areas where they were before fighting broke out last week. Georgia says some details are unacceptable and the French mediator admitted difficulties lay ahead.
Some 100,000 people are estimated to have been displaced by the conflict, which has created huge tensions in international relations.
On Tuesday, Russia announced its military activity in the area was completed and witnesses saw troops pulling out.
