Russia begins final Georgia pullout

KARALETI, Georgia (AP) -- Russian forces pulled back from positions outside Georgia's separatist South Ossetia region Wednesday, bulldozing a camp at a key checkpoint and withdrawing as European Union monitors followed. A Russian general said the pullout would be completed by the end of the day

Moscow must withdraw its troops from buffer zones surrounding South Ossetia and another breakaway region, Abkhazia, by Friday under an agreement brokered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy after Russia's war with Georgia in August.
