Brussels - Nato nations on Wednesday reaffirmed their
condemnation of Russia's move to recognise the
rebel South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of Georgia and jointly
called on Moscow to reverse the step.
"The North Atlantic Council condemns the decision of the
Russian Federation to extend recognition to the South Ossetian
and Abkhazian regions of Georgia and calls upon Russia to
reverse its decision," the 26-nation military alliance said in a
statement, after its main political body had met in Brussels.
