Russia promised to pull out in 2008, and will abide by their promise. That said, Georgia needs to stop protecting Chechens who have been using the Panski Gorge as training and staging areas for attacking Russia for several years.

Georgia to ask NATO membership this month Panski Gorge
Russian-Georgian relations have long been strained over the presence of Chechen rebels in Georgia's Pankisi Gorge and Georgia's refusal to let Russian troops flush the rebels out. Georgia launched its own security operation in August to sweep the gorge for suspected militants.
Is Georgia occupying Russian territory? Maybe if Russian invaders went home and stopped supporting separatists in Georgia then Georgians might begin to have an ounce of sympathy for Russia's own separatist problems. Russia even supported the Chechen Basayev's Abkhazian jihad against Christian Georgia in the early 90's, ethnically cleansing Abkhazia of hundreds of thousands of Georgians.
