U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has renewed calls for Russia to withdraw its forces from two breakaway republics of Georgia. Clinton made(issues) the call when she met with Georgian leaders today in the Black Sea resort of Batumi to discuss security and political issues. She said the United States remains steadfast in its support for her host's sovereignty and territorial integrity. 

Mrs. Clinton said the US rejects Russia's occupation and militarisation of Georgian territory and calls on Russia to fulfill its obligations under the 2008 ceasefire agreement, including withdrawal of its forces to pre-conflict positions and free access for humanitarian assistance. 

Russian troops remain in the provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which declared independence from Georgia after the brief 2008 war between Georgia and Russia.
