The Romanian Battlegroup Getica (Romanian: Grupul Român de Luptă "Getica") is a pro-Ukraine volunteer unit fighting in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is made up of citizens from Romania and Moldova.[1]
History[edit]
The Romanian Battlegroup Getica was created in September 2023 as part of the International Legion.[2] The soldiers of the unit are citizens from Romania and Moldova who are motivated "to keep Russia as far away from Romania and Moldova's borders as possible".[3] The battlegroup is led by a Romanian man who goes by the callsign "Getotac". The unit is currently involved in an incursion into Russian territory from Ukraine in the woods to the northwest of the town of Grayvoron.[4]
