Ukrainian and Russian media report that according to Wikileaks data, Russia bombed Georgia’s cities and civil units in 2008 . The US Embassy to Russia has sent a special letter to the US Secretary General concerning the issue. The letter had been made secret by the US Ambassador to Georgia at that time John Taft. The official document says that Russian military aircrafts bombed bases, airports and Poti Port, also Gori-located civil units.

The
French government and, apparently, the Élysée Palace are moving fast to
sell at least one Mistral-class helicopter carrier to Russia, possibly
for deployment in the Black Sea. Such a sale would endow Russia with a
modern naval and amphibious warfare capability that Russia currently
lacks. The Mistral is by definition a power-projection capability and
it can be deployed for intimidating effect on Russia’s maritime
neighbors. |
