Russia's Medvedev signs ceasefire pact: Kremlin

SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Saturday signed a ceasefire agreement ending hostilities with Georgia over the breakaway region of South Ossetia, the Kremlin said.

"The president informed participants of the security council meeting that he had just now signed the six-point plan," said the Kremlin's chief spokeswoman, Natalia Timakova.

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili had signed the French-brokered deal on Friday during the visit of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
