By IRNA,
Moscow : A US destroyer is due to dock in Georgia on Sunday carrying relief supplies, according to a statement from the US Navy.
It was not immediately clear where the USS McFaul would arrive but some reports say this is likely to be the port of Batumi in the south.
A further two US ships are due to arrive later.
The ships are carrying bottled water, blankets, hygiene kits, baby food, milk and nappies, said Commander Scott Miller, spokesman for the US 6th Fleet.
The US, France and UK say Russia’s plans to keep nearly 2,600 peacekeepers in buffer zones around South Ossetia and another breakaway Georgian province, Abkhazia, go against the terms.
Russian president’s office said that the Russian leader discussed in detail the fifth point of the six-point ceasefire deal, which stipulates that Russian troops should return to their pre-conflict positions but adds that Russian peacekeepers may take unspecified “additional security measures”.
IRNA reporter in Moscow said that the terms of the ceasefire brokered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy are vague.
Russia earlier insisted its plan to keep its forces in Poti complied with the terms of the ceasefire.
