Nato foreign ministers have said they "cannot continue business as usual" with Russia, and demanded that Moscow pull troops from Georgia immediately.
The declaration followed talks in Brussels about the conflict between Moscow and Tbilisi over Georgia's breakaway region of South Ossetia.
Some Russian troops have been seen leaving the Georgian town of Gori.
But Georgia's interior ministry dismissed the move as a "show aimed at creating the illusion of a withdrawal".
Russian officials told the BBC that the vehicles and 100 men were heading for the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali and then on to Vladikavkaz in neighbouring North Ossetia - a province of Russia.

However, BBC correspondents on the ground say there are still Russian artillery and troop positions dug in all around Gori, the largest Georgian town close to the South Ossetia border. In addition, there are Russian checkpoints about 35km (22 miles) from the capital, Tbilisi.
Both sides have accused the other of violating an EU-brokered peace plan that was signed by the presidents of Georgia and Russia last week.
