Beka Davituliani, an MP from the ruling party "Georgian Dream," said on Monday that the flow of Russians arriving in Georgia was under "full control."

As he states, "the Russian authorities, experiencing problems with mobilization, will close the border on September 28." "Therefore, this issue will no longer be relevant," "Novosti-Georgia" quotes Davituliani.

Davitulani claims that the flows of Russians arriving in Georgia are "completely under control" at this stage and "in this volume do not pose any danger." By letting in the country citizens of the Russian Federation, Georgia is helping Ukraine.

"What is the logic in not letting people from Russia who do not want to go to the front line? It means to give the regime in Russia the opportunity to let them into the battlefield and harm Ukraine? After all, we must help Ukraine win the war. It is in our interests. If it does not harm our interests, then we will accept those who do not want to go there," he said.

Since President Vladimir Putin announced partial mobilization in Russia, the real extent of which is unknown, giant queues of Russians fleeing the country have been formed at the Georgian border and many other Russia's neighbours.

On Sunday, the queue at the Russian-Georgian border reached 20 kilometers - all the way to Vladikavkaz. Therefore, the Revenue Service of the Ministry of Finance of Georgia, responsible for customs control at the border, announced its checkpoints to change the operating mode to a special regime due to a significant increase in traffic flow.

Over the weekend, an opposition MP said on TV that she had insider information about Tbilisi's plans to close the border to Russians from Monday partially, but these rumors were not officially confirmed.

Since March, the opposition and some public organizations have been demanding restrictions on the entry of Russians into the country, their purchase of real estate in Georgia, etc. The ruling party accused the opponents of launching a "shameful xenophobic-chauvinist campaign" against citizens of the Russian Federation.
