Hours later his government denounced the bombing of Tsjinvali, its capital.

As things stand Poland and three former soviet republics with coasts on the Baltic Sea consider that Russia crossed “the red line” while the Kremlin claims it only intervened to prevent Georgian bombings of Tsjinvali.

Kouchner, for his part, assured that the US should be in the front line of the crisis because “it is somehow part of the conflict.”
