Fifteen years since the start of the 2008 war between Georgia and Russia, many Georgian soldiers are fighting in Ukraine against Russian forces. For many of them -- and for those who lost their lives -- Russia's invasion is part of their own "unfinished battle."

Bodies of two Georgian volunteers, Gia Beriashvili and Davit Ratiani, killed in combat action in Ukraine, have been transferred to Georgia earlier today.
