/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The United States rejected Russia's offer to put
an international ban on delivery of weapons to Georgia.
Ben Chang, a spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the United Nations
labeled Moscow's draft resolution as an attempt to distract attention
from commitments to withdraw troops from the Georgian territory.
The U.S. Defense Secretary said a special mission will be dispatched
to Georgia to assess the country's needs for replenishment of its
armed forces, RFE/RL reported.
Yesterday, Russia formally established diplomatic relations with
Abkhazia and South Ossetia and announced intention to deploy over
7000 troops there.
