Russian President Vladimir Putin's partial mobilisation has seen tens of thousands of men flee Russia into Georgia. Estimates suggest up to 10,000 men a day were making the journey at one point.
Those who have made the trip have spent days waiting in a queue to cross the border, all to avoid fighting on the battlefield in Ukraine. But is the influx causing unease with local Georgians?
With a troubled history going back to the 2008 Russo-Georgia war, some politicians are asking the government to end the open-door policy that allows Russians to stay in Georgia for up to a year without a visa.
BBC Caucasus Correspondent Rayhan Demytrie reports on the situation on the ground and whether those who stay in Russia can resist the war from their own homeland.

A Russian soldier ran up to a nun. Out of breath he asked, “Please, may I hide under your skirt, I'll explain later.” The nun agreed. A moment later two military police ran up and asked: “Sister, have you seen a soldier?” The nun replied, “He went that way.” After the military police ran off, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, “I can't thank you enough, Sister. You see, I don't want to go to Ukraine.” The nun said, “I understand completely.” The soldier added, “I hope I'm not rude, but you have a great pair of legs!” The nun replied, “If you had looked a little higher, you would've seen a great pair of balls too. I don't want to go to Ukraine either."

I can absolutely understand the concerns towards the Russians, and that they can cause problems in Georgia. However, every man not fighting for Russia helps the Ukraine. And leaving the country weakens the struggling economy further. I think the West should recognize how important Georgia and other countries in the region are for weakening Russia, and send more help.

What situation? That Georgia invaded another country in 2008? And she staged a genocide there, is this normal for you, is she not an aggressor? And the fact that if Russia had not intervened in 2008, the next one to be attacked by Georgia would have been Abkhazia, is that okay with you? Georgia benefits from Russian tourists and the country lives off tourism, and almost all the fugitives have already returned

As a Georgian, the situation here is being escalated. In a few months. We might be under the question of whether or not Russia will invade Georgia to "defend" its own citizens here. We know that this is one of the widely known tactics of the Russian government. Our primary concern is to, try to stay safe and avoid any escalation. Although we already had some facts about Russian citizens trying to make problems and get into fights with locals. Because of that, we are living under huge pressure and it's making it dangerous to live in our own country. But our government is afraid, any kind of odd move from them might lead to a full-scale invasion. We need a solution, but the only solution is to stay quiet because all other kinds of solutions might be fatal. 🇬🇪

But as her daughter wasn't even 5 years old yet she probably won't remember her mother. Russians stole her wedding ring and phone. They only returned the body after the Netherlands filed a military acces request with Ukraine to fly in troops, kill the Russians and secure the crash site.

What truly irks me, is these men are leaving for their own preservation. While their neighbors were being tortured and killed, their lives went on the same. They went to work, they came home, ate their dinners, took their kids to the park, went to the local malls, just normal life. The thought of having to actually participate in such a barbaric act as “killing people or be killed yourself” in other words “war” wasn’t playing a large part of their day to day. Now it has come to their doorstep and in a large exodus they head for the borders. One fella dugs a picture of a precious baby out from his pocket and pulls on heart strings, saying he wants to stay alive and raise his child. I look at him and want to ask if it ever entered his thoughts about how many Ukraine’s have had those same thoughts but unfortunately, for them it just wasn’t to be. Then I see some men laboring about how so horribly difficult it was for them in those unbearably long hours it took to leave their country. I may sound totally hard, in fact I’m sure that I do, but the only thing these men should be saying is, How relieved they are that they escaped Russia and how very thankful they are that Georgia has allowed them in. I do hope Georgia experiences no repercussions from their doing so. I feel Putin is not to be trusted.

Russia's neighbors must never forget. Any concentrated settlement of Russians anywhere marks that area as a future territory of the Russian mainland.

Georgia was already part of the USSR. Putin has as much claim to Ukraine as to Georgia--none. With what army is he going to invade Georgia when he's lost most of it in Ukraine? Other countries already have most of the Russian men he wanted to turn into soldiers.

In this report, these men are pictured as victims, ppl who have been exiled or had to run to avoid taking part in the bloodshed. The Russo-Ukrainian war enters its 8th month, what did they do in the last 7? They did ignore as others were killed, stripped away from their family, or left as orphans. As the last sentences of this video said, these ppl were just fine with this war so far, they were okay with it, as long as others were doing the killing and being killed. Isn't it ironic when the time arrived to get their hands dirty suddenly their sense of justice collectively awakened, and fled their country? I understand there is no way to oppose Putin, but if hundreds of thousands were left Russia as a sign of protest in March might be this whole conflict would look differently. I am not entirely sure the same ppl who leaving now would not cheer, and line up for service if the mighty RF would be on the winning side.

It boggles me that the russian government believed - and apparently still does - that this is worth whatever they think they'll gain for Ukraine's territory. Beyond finances and lives lost, Russia is losing so much reputation and reliability... Also work force, bright minds, investments... All that for some land. You're already the widest country on the map, for christ's sake.

I don't think this even started over land claim, it started bc of Putin's ego. He was threatened by having a Ukrainian president who wasn't his puppet like the one who got voted out & was NATO friendly and thought he could bomb Ukraine back into submission. But he underestimated them this time and couldn't retreat once Russian troops were getting there 🍑 handed to them by Ukrainians fighting for their...everything. he had to save face by sticking it out. But now he's in way too deep and no matter how this ends for Russia, he and his country will look weak. All of this bc a man couldn't stand to lose an ounce of control over another soverign nation. Smh
