VIDEO: Young People Reach Lars by Taxi and Try to Cross the Border on Foot; Situation at the Checkpoint

This morning, Auroranews.am received reports from Armenians waiting in line at Upper Lars, stating that they have been unable to cross the Russia-Georgia border and return to Armenia for a day.

Just a moment ago, we spoke with some Armenians there who informed us that the queue is so long that vehicles are barely moving. According to information available to Auroranews, the border checkpoint is not closed; rather, the Russian side is conducting strict inspections. This is due to the announcement of partial mobilization, prompting many to attempt to leave Russian territory.

The video depicts the kilometer-long queues and how young people are being dropped off by taxis near the checkpoint to cross the border faster.
