“A US warship docked in Georgia’s Black Sea port of Batumi Tuesday, the US embassy said, as tensions in the region remain high over Russia’s role in the conflict in Ukraine. The arrival of the USS Mount Whitney for a five-day visit ‘reaffirms the United States’ commitment to strengthening ties with NATO allies and partners like Georgia,’ the US embassy said in a statement. The flagship of the US Navy 6th Fleet ‘will conduct routine combined training with the Georgian Coast Guard,’ the embassy said.”
