Russia accuses U.S. of encouraging Georgian revenge

Russia accused the United States on Wednesday of encouraging Georgia to seek revenge against Moscow for a 2008 war, a day after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised new U.S. military support for Tbilisi.

In a strongly worded statement, Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said the United States' support of Georgia's bid to join NATO, as well as "massive supplies of arms from abroad" encouraged Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's "criminal adventures" that led to the five-day war.

Georgia says it wants to use peaceful diplomatic means to bring the two regions back into its fold.

Georgia and Russia still have no diplomatic relations and communicate through Swiss diplomats.
