Russia has told Nato that it is halting military co-operation over the continuing crisis in Georgia, an alliance spokeswoman has said.
The move follows a statement by Nato that there would be no "business as usual" with Russia unless its troops pulled out of Georgia.
Meanwhile, Georgia's breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia have held mass rallies calling for independence.
Nato spokeswoman Carmen Romero said Russia's defence ministry had taken a decision "to halt international military co-operation events between Russia and Nato countries until further instructions".
