John Kerry commits more US military aid for Republic of Georgia
None
TBILISI- Secretary of State John Kerry told ex-Soviet Georgia that the United States would help it bolster its army as he reassured a close US ally days before a NATO summit expected to focus on the threat a resurgent Russia poses.
Kerry, on his first visit to Georgia as Secretary of State, made the commitment ahead of a NATO summit in Warsaw on Friday at which members of the Western military alliance plan to announce action to deter possible Russian military aggression.
Georgia and former Soviet states such as Moldova and Ukraine have become increasingly concerned by Russia's intentions after the Kremlin annexed Ukraine's Crimea in 2014 and launched air strikes in Syria last year.
