Over 113,000 Russians Flee to Georgia Amid Military Draft Rumors

More than 113,000 Russians have reportedly entered Georgia amid rumors of a new military draft and fears of renewed mobilization. The movement has raised questions about border controls, residency applications, and the social and economic impact on Georgia. Some arrivals may be seeking to avoid military service, while others could be responding to broader political and economic uncertainty. Georgian authorities face pressure to balance humanitarian concerns, national security, and relations with Russia. The influx could further test public services and housing.
