Russia seeks U.N. resolution with Georgia peace plan

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia wants a U.N. Security Council resolution on South Ossetia to include the text of a European Union brokered peace plan between Russia and Georgia, President Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday.

The Kremlin said Medvedev spoke to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon by telephone about a resolution on South Ossetia, where a conflict erupted this month between Russia and Georgia.

"D.A. Medvedev agreed with the view of the U.N. Secretary-General about the need to work out a Security Council resolution in connection with the situation around South Ossetia," the Kremlin said in a statement.

Medvedev "underlined that the main task of the Security Council at the current stage is to support the peace plan of August 12 which is based on six principles," the Kremlin said.

Western countries have prepared a new draft Security Council resolution demanding Russian withdrawal from Georgia but diplomats said Russia was likely to oppose it.

Russia says its troops are pulling out of Georgia but NATO said it was freezing all contacts with Moscow until all Russian forces were out of the Black Sea state.
