One video showed dozens of vehicles lining up at the Zemo Larsi/Verkhny Lars checkpoint on the Georgia-Russia border overnight Wednesday. One video showed a long queue stretching into the mountains behind the crossing, with a man commenting that it was five to six kilometers long. Another posted Thursday showed long lines at the Khaykhta crossing into Mongolia.
