The USS McFaul is the first of three ships to arrive in Georgia.

Russian forces are still in control of the military port of Poti, to the north of Batumi, after withdrawing most of its combat troops from the country.

Russia’s four-day war with Georgia erupted after Tbilisi tried to retake its province of South Ossetia – which broke away in 1992 and was supported by Moscow – in a surprise offensive on 7 August.

The offensive followed a series of clashes between Georgian and South Ossetian forces.
