US Vice-President Dick Cheney has condemned what he described as Russia’s “illegitimate” attempt to change Georgia’s borders.

Mr Cheney added that Russia’s actions during the recent conflict with Georgia had cast doubt on its reliability as an international partner.

He also said the US was fully committed to Georgia’s efforts to join Nato.

Mr Cheney was speaking during a visit to Tbilisi a day after the US announced a $1bn (£564m) aid package for Georgia.
