A South Korean court has allowed entrance into the country to two of five Russian men stranded at an airport near Seoul, according to South Korean media reports. The five fled Russia following President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a partial military mobilization in September.

The five men have been living at the airport while waiting for the court rulings on their appeals. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
