U.S. warship takes aid to Georgian port
The flagship of the U.S. Navy’s Mediterranean fleet anchored outside the key Georgian port of Poti today, bringing in tons of humanitarian aid to a port still partially occupied by hundreds of Russian troops.
Although Russia has watched the arrival of the USS Mount Whitney and other U.S. ships in recent weeks with deep suspicion, a Foreign Ministry official said Russia does not plan any military action to the U.S. naval presence in the Black Sea.
The Whitney was the first Navy ship to travel to Poti since Georgia fought a short war with Russia last month. The ship anchored just offshore from the port, according to harbor master Vakhtang Tavberidze.
Two U.S. ships have already come and gone from Georgia carrying humanitarian aid in recent weeks, but they anchored at a smaller port, Batumi, to the south.
