Behind the Poti Lines, a blog by Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, reports on the recent visit by the Georgian president [1] to the Russian-occupied port. The blog also notes that Russian soldiers are keeping interaction with residents to a minumum and no longer buying bread and vodka [2] from local shops in the town. Poti is operating at 35 percent of its capacity [3] because of the Russian bombing and occupation. Increasingly resembling a ghost town [4], local residents meet at people's homes rather than on the streets.
