`I was also in Georgia in January, and I traveled just outside of Abkhazia. It's a sad experience. The boundary line is hardening. Displaced peoples continue to flee in fear. And not only are Russian forces still occupying sovereign Georgian territory; they are digging in their military presence. But last week, the President resubmitted to Congress a civil-nuclear agreement with Russia, stating, and I quote, ‘the situation in Georgia is no longer an obstacle... And some wonder why the Georgians feel that Washington is selling them out to Moscow as the price of our ‘hitting the reset button.' The sad thing is, it's not just the Georgians. Ask the Poles, or the Czechs, or others in central Europe, and you'll hear the same anxiety about American abandonment. You'll hear much the same thing, for that matter, from those brave Russian democrats, and journalists, and civil society activists - patriots, all of them - who continue to work to restore a respect for human rights in Russia, despite a campaign against them of intimidation and brutality - and worse,` the Senator has said.
