格鲁吉亚说,俄罗斯在格鲁吉亚开辟了第二条战线,派遣装甲车越过两个脱离格鲁吉亚的地区,试图攻占格鲁吉亚境内的一个军事基地。

塞纳基位于试图分离的阿布哈兹共和国以南大约40公里,接近格鲁吉亚西部的黑海海岸。今天(星期一)早些时候,莫斯科发出最后通牒,要求驻守阿布哈兹附近的1500名格鲁吉亚部队缴械,否则就要发动进攻。格鲁吉亚拒绝接受缴械要求。一天前,俄罗斯当局表示正准备向阿布哈兹部署9千部队。

上星期,格鲁吉亚军队向格鲁吉亚另一个试图分离的南奥塞梯的分离分子推进,俄罗斯部队作为回应,入侵南奥塞梯,大规模战斗爆发。

Georgia says Russia has opened a second combat front in the country, sending armored vehicles beyond two breakaway territories to seize a Georgian military base inside Georgia.

Senaki lies about 40 kilometers south of Georgia’s separatist republic of Abkhazia, near the Black Sea coast in western Georgia. Earlier today (Monday), Moscow issued an ultimatum demanding that 15-hundred Georgian troops stationed near Abkhazia either disarm or face attack. Georgia rejected the disarmament call, a day after Russian authorities said they were preparing to deploy nine thousand troops to Abkhazia.

Large-scale fighting erupted last week, when Russian forces invaded another Georgian breakaway territory, South Ossetia, in response to a Georgian military push against separatists in the territory.
