Germany is pressing Russia to fulfill its president's pledge to complete a pullback from Georgia by Friday.
Government spokesman Thomas Steg says, "we have no firm indications the Russian troop withdrawal has really begun."
He says it is "a very unsatisfactory situation."
Steg told reporters Wednesday that Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier made clear at a regular Cabinet meeting that Germany expects Russia to stick to its pledge that its troops will complete their pullback moves by Friday.
Separately, the Defense Ministry said a German military plane will fly to the Georgian capital Tbilisi on Thursday with blankets, mattresses and bedclothes.
