Responsibility for the Russo-Georgian War : ウィキペディア英語版 | Responsibility for the Russo-Georgian War
The five-day-long, 2008 war between Russia and Georgia created controversy, with both sides blaming each other for starting the war. Although the Russian authorities have claimed that it was Georgia that started the war, many reports and researchers (among them independent Russian experts) concluded that the conflict started much earlier than the Georgian military operation began on 7 August at 23:35 and Russia was responsible. The relations between Georgia and Russia deteriorated since Vladimir Putin's rise to power in 1999-2000. South Ossetian separatists began attacking the Georgian villages in early August 2008, in order to force Georgia to respond militarily, thus giving a pretext for pre-planned Russian invasion. Russia was preparing to go to war with Georgia for years before 2008 and intended to achieve geopolitical goals. Some researchers paid attention to the military exercise "Kavkaz 2008", which concluded in early August. During this exercise a written notice entitled "Soldier, know your probable enemy" (the enemy was clarified as Georgia) was circulated among the Russian participants. Russian journalists began arriving in Tskhinvali on 2 August to cover a war that had not yet begun. Some Russian regular troops entered South Ossetia before the Georgian military operation against Tskhinvali began on 7 August. A European Union investigation claimed that "open hostilities" began with a large-scale Georgian military operation against Tskhinvali on 7 August, but noted that "a violent conflict had already been going on before in South Ossetia" and Georgian offensive was a "not proportionate" response to pre-war South Ossetian attacks. The commission could not confirm the claimed attack on Russian peacekeepers. The commission further stated that Russian citizenship, conferred to the vast part of Abkhaz and Ossetians can not be considered legally binding, and as a result, the defence of Russian citizens living abroad should not have been used as a reason for starting military action by Russia. The report stated that further Russian advance into Georgia proper was unjustified. The report found that all parties involved in the conflict had violated international law. However, the report was heavily criticised for its some conclusions. Wikileaks revealed in 2010 that according to the US embassy assessment in Tbilisi, the fighting was instigated by the South Ossetian separatists and not by Georgians. ==Combatants' positions==
