BATUMI, GEORGIA — 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 flagship of the US Navy 6th Fleet “will conduct routine combined training with the Georgian Coast Guard,” the embassy said.
