The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has said it is doing everything possible to bring back those stranded.
A group of those detained staged a protest on Friday, resulting in some being reportedly beaten by Georgian border guards.
Georgian Deputy Interior Minister Aleksandre Darakhvelidze said that they are not allowed to enter the country.
The body of Vano Nadiradze, who reportedly died of natural causes, was not met with the customary honour guard upon its arrival back in Georgia.
Georgia had raised the limit for visa-free stays for Ukrainians to three years following the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war.
The draft made no reference to who started the war and made no specific demands of the Kremlin, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a copy of the document.
The comments came as US President Donald Trump’s administration is seeking rapprochement with the Kremlin.
