TBILISI, Georgia - The return of a Georgian fighter's body to his homeland from Ukraine on Jan. 22 was a grim reminder of how eastern Ukraine's conflict carries traces of a war of a quarter-century ago. About 100 Georgian volunteers are fighting along with Ukrainian forces against Russia-backed separatist rebels, Georgian Gen. Georgi Kalandadze said on Jan. 20. Two are known to have died.
