Russian general promises to 'destroy' any enemy: report
Moscow (AFP) Sept 1, 2008 The Russian army is capable of destroying any enemy, even one supported by the United States or Europe, a Russian general was quoted by ITAR-TASS as saying on Monday. "The operation aimed at enforcing peace in Georgia showed to the world that regardless of the aggressor and whether he receives support from Europe or from beyond the Atlantic, we have everything needed to destroy him and he will be destroyed," General Valery Yevnevich said. He spoke after the opening of joint military exercises between Russia, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan in the Ural region of Chelyabinsk. Russian troops overwhelmed Georgia's small, US-trained army after launching an incursion August 8 to crush an attempt by Tbilisi to restore control over South Ossetia, a Moscow-backed separatist province. Russia has not withdrawn all its troops from Georgian territory in line with a French-brokered ceacefire deal.
