Georgia and Russia Blamed for War

A European Union-commissioned investigation of the Russia-Georgia war of August 2008 over Georgian breakaway provinces Abkhazia and South Ossetia concluded that Georgia started the war by attacking South Ossetia, but that Russia shares responsibility for causing the war by supporting separatists in the two provinces. The report also faulted Russia for disproportionate military action during the war and recognizing Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence after the war.
