US 'dismayed' by Russian plan to send troops to Abkhazia

The United States said late Saturday it was "dismayed" by Russia's plan to send military construction troops into Georgia's separatist region of Abkhazia."The United States is dismayed by Russia's Defense Ministry announcement on May 31 that it intends to send more military forces, including railroad construction troops, into the Georgian region of Abkhazia without the consent of the Georgian Government," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said in a written statement. Russia's defence ministry said it was sending to the sensitive separatist zone a unit of the Russian army's railway force to repair transport infrastructure.Russia's railway forces date from the early 20th century and are still maintained, long after other countries stopped using rail-mounted arms.However the defense ministry said no weapons were being carried by the unit deployed in Abkhazia."We have expressed our concerns to the Russian government and are in touch with the Georgian government about this latest announcement of a Russian military buildup," McCormack said.
