SUKHUMI, Georgia — The breakaway Georgian republic of Abkhazia has rejected a U.S. proposal to deploy an international police force there, its leader said Tuesday.
The regional government instead pledged to keep Russian peacekeepers despite Georgia’s accusations that they are fomenting tensions.
The U.S. State Department said Monday that Abkhazia “urgently” needs an international police presence in areas where recent bombings killed four people and wounded five. It also called on Abkhazia to resume peace talks with Georgia.
