United Nations, 10 agast (PTI): Unable to find a consensus statement on ceasefire to end the fierce fighting between Russia and Georgia in the breakaway South Ossetia province, the UN Security Council plans to meet on Sunday, the fourth time in three days.
The diplomats of 15-member council trying to draft a presidential statement calling for ceasefire were presumably continuing their labour despite their failure on Saturday night.
During the previous three meetings, the council was unable to find consensus with the United States and Britain strongly backing the pro-west Georgian government and Russia responding that it was only reacting to the attack by Georgia.
The latest council meeting comes in the backdrop of the Russian troops taking control of most of the capital of the South Ossetia.
The trouble in the sensitive region which has oil pipeline began when Georgia tried to take control of the tiny breakaway South Ossetia, saying that it was only asserting sovereignty over the area.
