It is still not possible to return the bodies of 5 Georgian fighters killed in Bakhmut. Georgian fighters in Ukraine say the situation on the ground is dire.
According to Nadim Khmaladze, all Georgian units are ready to enter the epicenter and evacuate the dead Georgians, but because of the current situation they are not allowed to do so.
"Our dead fighters are still on Russian-controlled territory and in their captivity. A group of 12 people was ready to conduct a small special operation with the Ukrainians, but the situation there is so difficult and we could have made contact with such a large force that that we were refused. The guys and the leadership of the Georgian Legion were ready to go in and conduct a special operation. All Ukrainian government and military structures are working to move the bodies of our fighters to Kyiv," said Nadim Khmaladze. .
