A US Navy warship carrying humanitarian aid for Georgia has
anchored in the southern Georgian port of Batumi.
The arrival of
guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul is seen as a strong signal of
support for an embattled ally. The heavily armed McFaul is the
first of five American ships scheduled to arrive this week with
supplies. Their arrival comes after a partial withdrawal of Russian
military forces from Georgia following a bloody incursion earlier
this month. Russian troops remain dug in around key strategic
locations across Georgia. The conflict has brought Russian-US
relations to their lowest point since the end of the Cold War.
