Kronologi perang
* August 1 - Late evening, intense fighting began between Georgian troops and the forces of South Ossetia. Georgia claimed that South Ossetian separatists had shelled Georgian villages in violation of a ceasefire. South Ossetia denied provoking the conflict.[42]
* August 2 - South Ossetians started to evacuate into Russia.
* August 5 - Russian ambassador Yuri Popov warned that Russia would intervene if conflict erupted.[43][44] Dmitry Medoyev, a Southossetian presidential envoy, declared in Moscow: "Volunteers are arriving already, primarily from North Ossetia" in Southossetia.[45][46]
* August 7 - President Mikheil Saakashvili ordered Georgian troops to cease fire.[47][48]
Despite the declared ceasefire, fighting intensified.[49][50] Hours after the declaration of the ceasefire, in a televised address, Mikheil Saakashvili vowed to restore Tbilisi's control over what he called the "criminal regime" in South Ossetia and Abkhazia and reinforce order.[50]
During the night and early morning, Georgia launched a military offensive to surround and capture the capital of separatist Republic of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali[51] thus breaking the terms of the 1992 ceasefire and crossing into the security zone established therein[52]. The heavy shelling, which included Georgian rockets being fired into South Ossetia[53] left parts of the capital city in ruins, causing a humanitarian crisis which Russian government sources claimed amounted to genocide. The news of the shelling was extensively covered by Russian media prior to the military reaction that followed, as Russia claimed to have responded in defence of South Ossetians against what they called "a genocide by Georgian forces."[54] Russia claimed up to 2,000 dead in Tskhinvali following the shelling.[55] The extent of civilian casualties was later disputed in a number of sources.[56] President Saakashvili later claimed that the Russian side has deployed tanks into the disputed region before he gave the order for Georgian forces to attack.[57] At Russia’s request, the United Nations Security Council held consultations on 7 August at 11pm (US EST time), followed by an open meeting at 1.15am (US EST time) on 8 August, with Georgia attending. During consultations, Council members discussed a press statement that called for an end to hostilities. They were unable, however, to come to a consensus.[58]
* August 8 - In the morning, Georgia announced that it had surrounded the city and captured eight South Ossetian villages.[59] An independent Georgian TV station announced that Georgian military took control of the city[60]
Russia sent troops across the Georgian border, into South Ossetia. In five days of fighting, the Russian forces captured the regional capital Tskhinvali, pushed back Georgian troops, and largely destroyed Georgia’s military infrastructure using airstrikes deep inside the smaller country's territory.[61]
* 9 August - An action in the Black Sea off Abkhazia resulted in one Georgian missile boat being sunk by the Russian Navy. The Russians claimed that the Georgian ships entered the security zone of the Russian war ships, and the action of the Russian Navy was in accordance with international law. After the skirmish, the remaining Georgian ships fled in defeat.
a second front was opened by the military of the Georgia's separatist Republic of Abkhazia in the Kodori Valley, the only region of Abkhazia that was, before the war began, still in effective control of Georgian loyalists.
Most international observers began calling for a peaceful solution to the conflict.[62] The European Union and the United States expressed a willingness to send a joint delegation to try and negotiate a cease-fire.[63]
* August 11 - Russia ruled out peace talks with Georgia until the latter withdrew from South Ossetia and signed a legally binding pact renouncing the use of force against South Ossetia and Abkhazia.[64]
On that night, Russian paratroopers deployed in Abkhazia carried out raids deep inside Georgian territory to destroy military bases from where Georgia could send reinforcements to its troops sealed off in South Ossetia. Russian forces entered and left the military base near the town of Senaki outside Abkhazia on the 11th, leaving the base there destroyed.[65] Gori was shelled and bombed by the Russians as the Georgian military and most of residents of the Gori District fled.[66][67][68]Since Gori is along Georgia's main highway, its occupation by Russian forces, combined with destruction of a railway bridge, cut Georgia's lines of communication and logistics in two.
In the opinion of the independent Russian military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer, "Russia's invasion of Georgia had been planned in advance, with the final political decision to complete the preparations and start war in August apparently having been made back in April."[69] A US Defence official said that there was no obvious buildup of Russian forces along the border that signaled an intention to invade.[70]
* August 12 - Russian President Medvedev said that he had ordered an end to military operations in Georgia.[71] Later on the same day, Russian president Medvedev approved a six-point peace plan brokered by President-in-Office of the European Union, Nicolas Sarkozy, in Moscow; both sides were to sign it by the 17th.[72]
Russian troops drove through the port of Poti, and took up positions around it.[73]
* August 13 - All of the remaining Georgian forces, including at least 1,500 civilians in the Kodori Valley, had retreated to Georgia proper.[74][75]
Russian tanks were seen at Gori. Russian troops were seen on the road from Gori to Tbilisi, but turned off to the north, about an hour from Tbilisi, and encamped. Georgian troops occupied the road six miles (about 10 km) closer to Tbilisi.[76][77]
* 14 August - Efforts to institute joint patrols of Georgian and Russian police in Gori broke down due to apparent discord among personnel.[78][79][80]
* August 15 - Reuters stated that Russian forces had pushed to 34 miles (55 km) from Tbilisi, the closest during the war; they stopped in Igoeti [show location on an interactive map] 41°59′22″N, 44°25′04″E, an important crossroads. According to the report, 17 APCs and 200 soldiers, including snipers, participated in the advance; the convoy included a military ambulance, and initially, three helicopters.[citation needed] A Reuters witness said the Russian military convoy advanced to within 55 km (34 miles) of Tbilisi on Friday. That day, United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice also traveled to Tbilisi, where Saakashvili signed the 6-point peace plan in her presence.[81][82]
* 16 August - The Russians had occupied Poti, as well as military bases in Gori and Senaki.[83][84]
* August 17 - the BBC's Richard Galpin, who has spent the past two days travelling from the Black Sea port of Poti to Tbilisi, says Georgian forces seem to be surrendering control of the highway to the Russians.[85] According to BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse, there is a "much-reduced" Russian military presence in Gori and lorries can be seen delivering humanitarian aid. But he says Russian soldiers still control the town's key entry and exit points.[86]
Referring to a major ground exercise Russia held in July, just north of Georgia’s border, Dale Herspring (an expert on Russian military affairs at Kansas State University) described Russia's intervention as being "exactly what they executed in Georgia just a few weeks later... a complete dress rehearsal".[87]
* August 19 - The Russian forces in Poti took prisoner 21 Georgian troops who had approached the city. They were taken to a Russian base at Senaki; there is dispute whether they were later released.[88]
Some Russian armour left Gori for an uncertain destination.[89] On the same day, Russian and Georgian forces exchanged prisoners of war. Georgia said it handed over 5 Russian servicemen, in exchange for 15 Georgians, including two civilians.[90]
* August 22 - At least 40 Russian armoured personnel carriers left Gori; other Russian troops remained in Georgia proper and dug in[91] the outskirts of Poti with a checkpoint manned by 20 men on the main road, while a Reuters reporter apparently saw a checkpoint in Karaleti 6 km north of Gori.[92] At a news conference Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn insisted "These patrols were envisaged in the international agreement, Poti is outside of the security zone, but that does not mean we will sit behind a fence watching them riding around in Hummers."[93] President Sarkozy thanked President Medvedev for fulfilling commitments concerning the withdrawal of Russian troops. While stressing the importance of early withdrawal of Russian military presence on the axis Poti / Senaki.[94]
* August 23 - Russia declared the withdrawal of its forces to lines it asserted fulfilled the six points: into Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and the "security corridor" around South Ossetia. The bulk of its forces left Georgian soil altogether; on the other hand, checkpoints remained on the main road from Tbilisi to Poti where it passed within 8 kilometers of South Ossetia; two Russian outposts remained outside Poti.[95]

Wewewew, perangnya aja ud gencatan senjata
Rusia tandatangani gencatan
Rusia mengikuti langkah Georgia dengan menandatangani satu rencana perdamaian yang ditengahi oleh Perancis untuk mengakhir konflik yang sudah berlangsung sembilan hari.
Tetapi menteri luar negeri Rusia, Sergei Lavrov mengatakan, penarikan mundur pasukan Rusia dari dalam wilayah Georgia tergantung pada pemberlakuan langkah-langkah pengamanan ekstra.
Dia mengatakan pasukan Rusia mengatasi 'masalah-masalah yang disebabkan oleh Georgia," dan menolak memberikan kerangka waktu kapan pasukan Rusia akan mundur.
Presiden Amerika, George Bush sekali lagi menuntut penarikan mundur pasukan Rusia.
Konflik yang membara antara Georgia dan Rusia meletus tanggal 7 Agustus lalu ketika Georgia melancarkan satu serangan untuk mengambil alih propinsi Ossetia Selatan yang ingin berpisah dari Georgia dan selama ini didukung oleh Rusia.
Serangan Georgia ini mendapatkan balasan luar biasa dari Rusia, Rusia memasuki hingga ke dalam wilayah Georgia. Banyak yang tewas dalam pertempuran ini dan puluhan ribu orang terpaksa mengungsi.
Georgia yang didukung oleh Amerika berjanji pihaknya tidak akan menerima wilayahnya menjadi berkurang, tetapi Rusia bersikukuh bahwa setelah terjadi kekerasan baru-baru ini, warga Ossetia Selatan besar kemungkinan tidak akan mau menjadi bagian dari negara Georgia.
Masa depan propinsi lain yang ingin memisahkan dari Georgia, Abkhazia juga menjadi taruhan.
Langkah-langkah keamanan
Hari Sabtu, Presiden Rusia Dmitry Medvedev mengikuti langkah presiden Georgia, Mikhail Sakasshvili dengan menandantangani gencatan senjata.
Diantara enam pokok kesepakatan itu, kedua pihak setuju untuk menarik mundur pasukan mereka ke posisi sebelum terjadinya konflik ini.
Tetapi berbagai laporan mengatakan kesepakatan itu mengandung satu pasal yang mengizinkan Rusia mengambil langkah-langkah pengamanan tambahan untuk sementara waktu menjelang kedatangan para pengawas gencatan senjata internasional.
Menteri luar negeri Rusia, Sergei Lavrov mengatakan kepada para wartawan,langkah-langkah pengamanan inilah yang akan diimplementasikan, "pertama dan yang utama".
Para diplomat mengatakan bahwa Dewan Keamanan PBB diperkirakan akan memungut suara akhir pekan ini untuk satu rencana resolusi yang meresmikan kesepakatan gencatan senjata itu.
Pasukan Rusia sekarang sudah jauh meninggalkan perbatasan Ossetia Selatan dan masuk lebih dalam ke wilayah Georgia.
Rusia dilaporkan sudah menduduki kota Khashuri di georgia tengah, sehingga Rusia praktis menguasai hampir semua kota penting dalam jaringan jalan utama yang menghubungkan wilayah Laut Hitam ke ibukota Tbilisi.
