US EditionKyiv accuses Russia of leaving Ukrainians stranded at Georgian border
RUSSIAN-GEORGIAN BORDER, JUL 19 – Ukraine accuses Russia of deporting mostly former prisoners to Georgia's border, where about 90 remain stranded in poor conditions as Kyiv works to evacuate them amid transit challenges.
- On July 19, 2025, Ukraine's foreign minister charged Russia with forcibly sending Ukrainians into Georgia, where many were abandoned without valid identification or paperwork.
- These deportations have significantly increased since June, with Russia expelling many former prisoners over the southern frontier instead of sending them directly to Ukraine.
- Ukrainian President Zelenskiy spoke with Andrii Sybiha, who confirmed that 43 individuals, among them the former detainee Andrii Kolomiyets, have been moved from Georgia to Ukraine through Moldova.
- Zelenskiy stated that these individuals are Ukrainians freed by Russian authorities from detention facilities and correctional institutions located in areas under Russia's control, while Moscow has yet to address the accusations.
- Ukraine's diplomats are arranging transit for deported citizens, but the situation shows Russia is weaponizing deportations, leaving many Ukrainians stranded in difficult conditions.
