Russia has rejected criticism from G7 nations over its handling of the Georgia crisis.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said that Western critics were biased and that the G7 was trying to justify Georgian aggression towards the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The G7 had issued a joint statement earlier this week that accused Russia of breaking international law by recognising the two breakaway regions as independent states. The West and Russia also remain at loggerheads in the United Nations Security Council in New York. The Council held a sixth inconclusive emergency session on the Georgian crisis late on Thursday. As in the five previous council meetings on the issue, the 15-nation body failed to pass a resolution.
