At a NATO meeting in Brussels, foreign ministers have held a crisis
meeting to discuss how to respond to Russia's conflict with
Georgia.
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said
Russia should pull out of what he called "at least the heart of
Georgia" to make possible talks on a durable ceasefire. He warned
against any break in dialogue with Moscow. British Foreign
Secretary David Miliband said NATO's offer of eventual membership
to Georgia and Ukraine should be upheld, but added that Russia
should not be isolated. This follows a US suggestion to suspend the
NATO's dialogue with Russia. The 27-member western alliance is
split between countries seeking a tough response to Russia, and
those wanting to preserve relations.
