Washington  - US President George W Bush said Wednesday that Russia has placed its integration into the international diplomatic and economic system at "risk" by its military campaign in Georgia.

Bush accused Russia of continuing military operations inside of Georgia despite a ceasefire agreed to on Tuesday, and called on Moscow to ensure humanitarian aid be allowed into the country.

Bush said the US military has already begun flights with supplies to Georgia and that the US Navy would soon be playing a role in the humanitarian mission to demonstrate "solidarity" with the Georgian people.

The United States has supported a greater Russian role in global affairs but the nation is "putting its aspirations at risk by taking action in Georgia that is inconsistent with principals of those institutions," Bush said.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been ordered to travel to the Georgian capital Tbilisi to demonstrate support for Georgia after first stopping in France to discuss the ceasefire brokered by President Nicolas Sarkozy. (dpa)
