Russia's ambassador to the United Nations has rejected a draft Security Council resolution that would demand an immediate Russian military withdrawal from Georgia.
Vitaly Churkin told the council that the resolution should incorporate and endorse a French-brokered ceasefire, which has been signed by both Russia and Georgia. As a permanent member of the Security Council, Russia has the power of veto and there has been no move to put the resolution to a vote.
