In a statement Monday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper condemned Russia's incursions into Georgian territory far beyond South Ossetia.
"Russian and Georgian forces must immediately cease hostilities throughout Georgia and return to their Aug. 6 positions," he said. "Furthermore, in escalating the conflict through its attacks on Georgian towns and cities outside South Ossetia, Russia has ceased to act as a peacekeeper. It is imperative that Russia respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia."
