SUBJECT: AMB URGES ITALY TO PUSH FOR RUSSIAN WITHDRAWAL

REF: STATE 87254

Classified By: Ambassador Ronald P. Spogli for reasons 1.4 b and d

1. (C) Ambassador Spogli delivered reftel points requesting
the GOI's engagement with Russia to PM Berlusconi's principal
adviser, U/S Gianni Letta on August 14. Letta told the
Ambassador that he would convey the points to PM Berlusconi
who was in the next room.

2. (C) The Ambassador told Letta we had heard reports of a
continued Russian military presence around Gori and the port
city of Poti which included attacks on Georgian military
positions and destruction of property. The Ambassador said
it was essential that all Russian troops withdraw from
Georgia and return to South Ossetia as soon as possible.
Letta agreed. The Ambassador also encouraged the GOI to push
Russia to permit free and unimpeded access to both
international observes and providers of humanitarian and
reconstruction assistance.

3. (C) The Ambassador told Letta that Washington was "not
happy" with the Italian response thus far and that we had
been particularly perplexed by FM Frattini's statements. The
Ambassador encouraged the GOI to evaluate the facts on the
ground and act accordingly. The Ambassador noted that the
current policy of "equidistance" (between U.S. and Russia)
will seem inappropriate once the facts have been fully
examined. Letta indicated he had anticipated the U.S.
displeasure with the Italian position and that he would
convey the message to the PM soonest.
