      Said order were –

      ✅Protect the safety of the population in the Tskhinvali region.

      ✅Neutralize the firing positions of the separatists, from which the artillery shelling of Georgian villages was ongoing.

      ✅Stop the movement of the mechanized columns of the Russian Armed Forces from the Roki tunnel in the direction of Tskhinvali.

      At approximately 23:50, the artillery brigade of the Georgian Army began artillery processing of the Russian military columns coming from Java to Tskhinvali and the destruction of the positions of the Ossetian separatist formations in field positions around Tskhinvali.

      I’m a foreigner so I really don’t know the history like Georgians do. But I was aware that the EU Tagliavini Report blamed Georgia for starting the war. It acknowledges that Georgian villages were already being shelled and hit with snipers, but then said it was Georgia’s fault or starting the war because those incidents “did not justify the scale of the Georgian military response.” Then it condemns Russia for responding “far beyond the reasonable limits of defense”.

      So it admits Russia started it, then says georgia escalated too far, then says Russia escalated beyond that too far. So it doesn’t seem logical to me that they would cast the blame on Georgia. Must be very frustrating for you guys. Correct me if I’m misunderstanding anything. Like I said I’m just learning about it at a pretty basic level now.

      13 years later Georgians still can’t figure out why neither Ossetians, nor Abkhazians want to live with them in one country.

      In 1990, Georgia could have easily resolved this issue. However, they claimed that Ossetians were second-class citizens. Additionally, a significant amount of property was stolen from both sides. According to this article, the shelling of Tskhinvali was a violation of their own citizens.
