That's BS. Georgians simply could have left the border of South Ossetia if they were taking fire, instead they started shelling the whole city with heavy artillery, knowing full well it was full of civilians, and as importantly, Russian peacekeepers under OSCE mandate.
Georgians were taking fire because they were massing troops for an invasion. The timing to coincide with Olympics was no accident.
Also, looks like Georgians are back to shelling South Ossetia.

That's why Russians have to continue military action until Georgia is no longer in position to do so, not trust some flimsy cease fire that Georgia has demonstrated means nothing to it, time and again.
