STORYLINE:
Russian forces moved tanks and soldiers to positions just outside the town of Kaspi on Saturday, 35 kilometres (20 miles) west of Georgia's capital, Tbilisi.
AP Television showed Russian troops stationed a few yards (metres) from Georgian police at a checkpoint near Kaspi.
A few kilometres (miles) back a convoy of trucks carrying Georgian special forces were seen.
Meanwhile both sides waited for Russia's president to sign a proposed truce.
The cease-fire agreement, signed by Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili on Friday, would be a definitive step toward ending the fighting that broke out last week if Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also signs it.
The Kremlin says he will do so, but without saying when.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Saturday it had received the signed document from Georgia, the Interfax news agency reported, an apparent indication the process was moving forward.
But on the ground, Russian troops' intentions remained hard to read.
The agreement calls for both sides forces to pull back to positions they held before fighting erupted Aug. 8 after Georgia launched a massive barrage to try to take control of the Russian-backed separatist region of South Ossetia.
The Russian army quickly overwhelmed the forces of its small U.S.-backed neighbour and then drove deep into Georgia.
The Russian seizure of territory, including the strategic city of Gori about 50 kilometres (35 miles) west of Tbilisi, has raised fears that Russia aims for a permanent occupation of the country that was once was part of its empire.
The Russian presence in Gori is strategically critical: the city sits along Georgia's only significant east-west highway, allowing the Russians effectively to split the nation in two.
One woman who had fled Gori talked to reporters just outside Kaspi. "The night was peaceful but we decided to flee," she said.
Residents have however reported atrocities in the villages between Gori and Tskhinvali, the South Ossetian provincial capital.
Also on Saturday Georgia's Security Council chairman Kakha Lomaia told AP Television that he had come to Kaspi to assure Russian troops that Georgia had no plans to launch an attack on them.
"They were very nervous and we've come down to calm them down," he said.
