In Georgia, Cheney denounces Russia’s border actions as ‘illegitimate’

The World

Vice President Dick Cheney said yesterday the U.S. has a “deep and abiding interest” in keeping Georgia and other neighboring states free from Russian domination and condemned what he said was Russia’s attempt to change Georgian borders. The Vice President’s visit comes a day after the White House announced a billion-dollar aid package to help rebuild the country following its conflict last month with Russia.
