looks like resolution between Russia and Georgia

Georgia says Russia appears to be leaving 2 towns

TBILISI, Georgia – Georgia's deputy defense minister says Russian troops are apparently pulling out of two towns.

Bato Kuteliya said Wednesday the troops had left the western town of Zugdidi — near the breakaway province of Abkhazia — and are expected to leave the city of Gori shortly.

Gori is near South Ossetia, Georgia's other separatist province.

The cease-fire agreed to by the Georgian and Russian presidents calls for both sides to retreat to their original positions.
