List of Georgians killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Jump to navigation Jump to search

At least 72 Georgian citizens have been confirmed to have been killed during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.[1] Most died as soldiers serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Hundreds of ethnic Georgians are believed to be fighting in Ukraine, primarily with the Georgian Legion. This unit was formed in 2014 after Russia instigated unrest in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, following the Russian annexation of Crimea.[2][3][4][5]

Estimates vary, but Georgian media approximates that Georgians likely have the highest death toll of any foreign nationality fighting on the Ukrainian side.[6]
