`
http://www.kremlin.ru/eng/text/speeches/2008/08/15/1927_type82913_205360.shtml
`
SERGEI SHOIGU: Restoring the water supply through the water
mains is proving a lot more difficult.
`
DMITRY MEDVEDEV: Have they been destroyed or not?
`
SERGEI SHOIGU: They have suffered considerable damage, but
the main problem is that there are many unauthorised bar-
riers and attempts to siphon water from these pipes, which
cross through Georgian villages.
`
Yesterday more than 50 unsanctioned pipes siphoning water
from the mains were cut off, and more than 100 have been
cut off today.  I think this work will not be completed
until tomorrow.
`
The main damage was to reservoirs, 1,500 cubic metres, in
Tskhinvali itself."

`
"For our part, we are ready to work with everyone openly
and in goodwill, and we do not want to damage our rela-
tions with anyone.
`
But at the same time, we will continue to carry out our
peacekeeping mandate, and if anyone continues to attack
our citizens and our peacekeepers, of course we will
respond just as we responded on this occasion, and there
should be no doubt about this."
`
B
`
"This decision [on deploying elements of the U.S. missile
defence system on Polish territory] demonstrates very
clearly what we have been talking about of late, that the
deployment of new missile defence systems in Europe is
directed against the Russian Federation.  The moment has
been chosen accordingly.
`
The stories about this all being to deter rogue states do
not hold water."
`
C
`
"three questions I would like you to reflect on.
`
First, who started the military operations in South Osset-
ia?  Was it the peacekeepers, the Russian troops, or was
it the Georgian army?"
`
"Second, did the international community want this aggres-
sion to have an outcome that would have meant the end to
the existence of Ossetians in South Ossetia and Abkhazians
in Abkhazia?  Yes or no?
`
And third, do we consider what happened to be a humanitar-
ian disaster, yes or no?"

in 1941.  Within hours, Georgian troops destroyed Tskhin-

civilians.  Almost all of the people who died that night
were Russian citizens.  They chose to become citizens of
Russia years ago, when Georgia refused to recognize South
Ossetia as a non-Georgian territory."

`
"As regards the international situation, along with a
positive trend, i.e. the strengthening of the positions
of the Russian Federation in international affairs,
negative trends emerged that are to be considered in
conducting foreign policy of Russia in specific areas."
`
"Russia will continue to actively support peaceful re-
solution of conflicts in the [Commonwealth of Indepen-
dent States] area based on international law, respect
for earlier agreements and search for agreement between
the parties involved, by fulfilling responsibly its mis-
sion of a mediator in the negotiations and peacekeeping."
`
"it is necessary to transform the Russian-US relations
into strategic partnership, overcome the barriers of
strategic principles of the past and focus on [>] real
threats, while working for the resolution of differences
between Russia and the USA in the spirit of mutual re-
spects in the areas where they persist."
