'We don't want all-out war' Russia 'violated a norm' 'West must not isolate Russia'

Paris - EU states are considering imposing sanctions against Russia over the crisis in Georgia, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, whose country holds the EU presidency, said on Thursday.

"Sanctions are being considered, and many other means," in preparation for an emergency EU summit next Monday on Europe's response to Russia's conflict with the ex-Soviet republic, Kouchner said.

Russia is facing an avalanche of condemnation from the West over its decision to recognise the independence of two Georgian secessionist regions at the heart of the conflict that erupted this month.
