On Ukraine, see my post 63.
As for Georgia, the EU itself put the blame directly on Georgia for starting that conflict.
“But the conclusions will discomfit the western-backed Georgian leader, Saakashvili, who was found to have started the war with the attack on Tskhinvali, the South Ossetian capital, on the night of 7 August last year, through a “penchant for acting in the heat of the moment”.
The war started “with a massive Georgian artillery attack”, the report said, citing an order from Saakashvili that the offensive was aimed at halting Russian military units moving into South Ossetia.
Flatly dismissing Saakashvili’s version, the report said: “There was no ongoing armed attack by Russia before the start of the Georgian operation ... Georgian claims of a large-scale presence of Russian armed forces in South Ossetia prior to the Georgian offensive could not be substantiated ... It could also not be verified that Russia was on the verge of such a major attack.”

Yup. The Russians attacked when Georgia started shelling its own territory. Wait a minute....
Oh, and I saw your #63. I didn’t expect much else to be reported by the Russian government. Although it was fun to watch the Russians scramble when the government accidentally released those casualty figures.
