Beginning of the Meeting on the Conflict in South Ossetia with Defence Minister Anatoly Serdyukov and the Chief of General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Nikolai Makarov

August 9, 2008, The Kremlin, Moscow

Dmitry Medvedev: Our Russian peacekeepers and the forces they oversee started participating in an operation to enforce peace in the Georgia-South Ossetia conflict. They also have a responsibility to protect the population. They are doing both now. I would like you to report on the situation.
