Russian military withdrawing from Georgia

The Russian military is quitting the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Moving arms and munitions can be done tactfully by railways – often under cover of darkness. Railways are helping the disengagement of Russian forces from Georgia away from the glare of publicity. Trains are being used to move tanks and guns away from Batumi military base back to Russia. The withdrawal was resumed in May after an 18 month hold up. A further pullout is scheduled from the Akhalkalaki military base. [More]
