Moscow has expressed outrage over the fact that, despite Russia\'s demands, the Georgian authorities have still not returned the property of Russian peacekeepers seized by Georgian forces on Wednesday morning. \"Moscow is extremely worried by incoming reports that the Georgian authorities are not stopping their unlawful and provocative actions in the Georgian-Ossetian conflict zone,\" the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. \"There can be no doubt that the violent seizure of the military equipment was deliberately aimed at further exacerbating the situation in South Ossetia and undermining Russian-Georgian relations,\" it says.
