according to bbc news:
"Russian troops have left their self-imposed buffer zones around Georgia's breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia ahead of a Friday deadline.
Both Georgia and Russia confirmed the move which leaves Russian troops only inside the two regions, which recently declared independence from Georgia.
Moscow plans to keep nearly 8,000 soldiers stationed there.
It fought a brief war to repel Georgian troops trying to regain control of
South Ossetia by force in August.
Russia's foreign minister said an EU mission monitoring the pull-out would be excluded from both territories.
Russia recognised the regions as independent states - a move which drew strong condemnation from Georgia and Western leaders"
