Brussels: Russia is seeking an emergency meeting with Nato to discuss the crisis in Georgia's breakaway South Ossetia region, Russia's ambassador to the Western military alliance said on Monday.
"This morning the Russian mission to Nato made a decision to put forward a proposal to Nato leaders for an extraordinary Russia-Nato council," Dmitry Rogozin told a news briefing, adding that Russia wanted the meeting at ambassadorial level on Tuesday.
Earlier, Nato Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer accused Russia of using disproportionate force and violating Georgia's territory after Russian military action spread beyond South Ossetia.
Nato angered Russia in April by declaring that former Soviet republics Georgia and Ukraine would one day join the Western military alliance.
