Transferring case from Kyiv to another embassy

My Ukrainian fiancee has been trapped in Russian-occupied territory since the invasion began in February.  She has the possibility to escape the "Lugansk Peoples Republic", travel across southern Russia to Georgia.  She was nearly ready for her interview at the Kyiv embassy in December.  She was only missing her birth certificate and police report.  She was waiting at her mother's house in Russian-occupied Lugansk while waiting for her new birth certificate, which would be produced in nearby Severodonetsk.  She was ready to pick it up, when the borders closed and the invasion began.  If she can go to Tbilisi, we will have the option of transferring her case to the Tbilisi embassy or to the Frankfurt Germany embassy.  Apparently, the Kyiv visa responsibilities were transferred to Frankfurt because the Kyiv embassy is not processing any visas.  Now she does not have any of her documents except her passport.  I am sure that, wherever we transfer case, we will have to pay a new fee for the DS-160 and she will need a new doctor's report.  The Frankfurt embassy responded to an inquiry from my senator saying that we can choose to transfer the case to the embassy of our choice.  I called the Tbilisi interview scheduler and they did not seem very friendly or helpful.  Does anyone know if one of these embassies is a better choice than the other?  Is one more accepting of the special circumstances of the war?  (Not having a birth certificate or police report)
