TBILISI, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Two U.S. warships will deliver humanitarian supplies on Wednesday to the Georgian Black Sea port of Poti where Russian troops have been mounting patrols, the U.S. embassy in Tbilisi said on Tuesday.

"At the request of the Georgian government, these ships will be delivering humanitarian aid to Poti," said a spokesman for the embassy. "The USS McFaul and another U.S. ship will dock in Poti in Wednesday." (Reporting by Margarita Antidze; Writing by Christian Lowe; Editing by Jon Boyle)
