Calls upon the governement of Russia to: (1) withdraw its recognition of Georgia's territories of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia as independent countries, (2) refrain from acts and policies that undermine Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and (3) take steps to fulfill the August 12, 2008, Ceasefire Agreement between Georgia and the Russian Federation. Urges the United States to declare that it will not recognize Russian de jure or de facto sovereignty over any part of Georgia, including Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia. Urges the President to: (1) deepen cooperation with Georgia, including Georgia's advancement towards Euro-Atlantic integration; and (2) place emphasis on enhancing Georgia's security through joint military training and the provision of self-defensive capabilities.
