Throw me a bone here: Russian President Dmitry Medvedev spoke to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization on Thursday.

The fighting may be finished, for now, but the diplomatic chess game is heating up over Abkhazia and South Ossetia, two rebellious Georgian provinces which Russia defended with an outright invasion of Georgia in early August.
After Moscow recognized the provinces as "independent states" on Tuesday, the European Union is now raising the possibility of economic sanctions.

Ahead of an emergency summit by EU nations on Monday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Thursday that "sanctions would be considered, along with other means." He didn't clarify what "other means" might include.

But both he and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband had warned on Wednesday that Russia's behavior in the Caucasus might be a foretaste of military interventions along its western border -- particularly in places like Crimea, or parts of Ukraine and Moldova, where Russian-speaking populations are sympathetic to Moscow.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov lost no time on Thursday saying these were "sick ideas." The notion that Russia was about to attack Moldova, Ukraine or Crimea was a demonstration of madness, he said, by the West.

*German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday called Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on the phone to explain why her government had condemned his recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.*

But on Thursday, Medvedev was appealing to leaders of China and four Central Asian countries at a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) to also recognize their independence.

He insisted that Georgia had started the recent war, and called support for Russia's position a "serious signal for those who are trying to justify the aggression."

German commentators on Thursday write that now is the time for a stronger and more coherent response from Europe.


*The Financial Times Deutschland *writes:


"Any doubt as to Russia's goals in Georgia has vanished into thin air. By recognizing the Georgian territories Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states, against international law, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has made Moscow's intention clear: The Russian government wants to change the map of Europe by violence."

"This war never had much to do with South Ossetia, much less with Georgia. Moscow wants to use this invasion -- which it has prepared for years -- to rebuild its imperium, to expand its control over Europe's energy reserves, and to punish anyone who believes that democracy should bloom along Russia's borders. For Europe this is reason enough to worry."

*The center-left Süddeutsche Zeitung *writes:

"A military reaction (against Russia) would be madness, and America, in any case, is a lame duck: Its president has exhausted its power and its credibility. His potential successors have managed to say a lot, but without really saying much at all."

"So the remaining actor on the field -- who would have thought -- is none other than the EU. Its 27 member states, with almost as many competing interests, domestic political and historical considerations make it look like anything but a strong diplomatic force."

"(But) the political analog to the military division of Georgia is Russia's attempt to divide Europe. If it works, Putin will have won more than two new mini-republics in the Caucasus."


*The left-wing Berliner Zeitung *writes:

"So the German chancellor phoned up Russian President Medvedev and discussed the situation in the Caucasus.
That's good … Both leaders were apparently open and clear about their positions.
That's a diplomatic way of saying they stuck to polite, minimal formalities, without finding any other points of agreement."

"(But) in such polarizing matters as the Caucasus, phone conversations are no longer much help -- especially when Merkel calls up the wrong man."


"If it's true that Vladimir Putin is still the strongest leader in Russia, and that the recent war was followed according to his plan, then (Merkel) will have to speak to him.

And if it's also true that his strategy is looking forward to regime change in Georgia and Ukraine -- to governments more friendly to Moscow -- then someone will have to bring this up with him in clear, unabashed terms."


*The conservative daily Die Welt writes:*

"The first victim of Russia's strong-arm tactics is, in Germany, the policy promoted by former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier of being friends with Russia at any cost.

An expression of this policy is the Baltic pipeline, which would strengthen Germany's reliance on oil and gas delivery from Russia.

It's now clear the pipeline deal was nothing but fair-weather politics, because the Schröder government had no Plan B, in the event that Russia would not try to be friends with Germany but push ahead with its old hegemonic ambitions."


"Moscow will avoid further adventures like the war in Georgia only when NATO wins back the power to scare the Kremlin.

One prerequisite for this would be credible defense plans for the most exposed members of NATO in the Baltic region.

But the most important prerequisite is close cooperation
between NATO and the European Union."
