Whitman said the U.S. will be reviewing other military-to-military cooperative programs with Russia as well.
But it has become increasingly clear that the West may have little leverage to influence Moscow's decisions. Bush held out no specific punishment.
"Russia has sought to integrate into the diplomatic, political, economic, and security structures of the 21st century. The United States has supported those efforts," he said. "Now Russia is putting its aspirations at risk by taking actions in Georgia that are inconsistent with the principles of those institutions."
