Il y a peu de chances qu’une adhésion de l’Ukraine à l’OTAN se matérialise : Ioushchenko pèse à peine 10% des voix, Yulia Timochenko a déclaré que la question devait être soumise le cas échéant à referendum, 75% des ukrainiens y sont opposés.

“They [Georgian military forces] launched their attacks at 23:30 [on August 7]. I learned about it the following morning. I spoke to Bush. He said ‘No one wants war.’ We expected something would happen,” Putin said, suggesting that he expected the US to rein in its regional ally in Tbilisi.

“I met him again at the stadium. I can’t tell you in detail the content of the conversation, but

I had the feeling that his administration wouldn’t do anything about stopping the conflict,” Putin said.

Russian tanks were then ordered to move on the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali.

It is the first time that Putin has blamed the US for allowing the crisis to erupt. He was polite about Bush, saying he respected his integrity, but he suggested that the president’s advisers had taken the key decisions. “It’s a court which makes a king. Maybe the court thought the king shouldn’t intervene,” he said.

Bush failed to halt Georgia war, says Putin
