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.
