Approximate English Translation:
“On the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF), about a hundred Romanian and Moldovan mercenaries are fighting against Russian troops. This is reported by the Romanian newspaper Ziarul de Iasi.
The leader of the mercenary group, with the call sign “Gethodak,” told the publication that currently, about 50 Romanians and the same number of Moldovans are fighting on the side of the UAF. Some of them serve in the Romanian combat group Getica, while others are in the International Legion of Ukraine.
“Gethodak” complained that his mercenary battalion is poorly equipped with technology, and he had to send letters to Romanian defense equipment manufacturers asking them to provide it for testing in real combat conditions. In response, the mercenaries are willing to provide reports on its use, indicating its strengths and weaknesses. The equipment should be simple and easy to use without complex training.
The loss of their comrades-in-arms, according to “Gethodak,” is estimated to be low, amounting to only a few.
The leader of the mercenaries thanked the residents of Romania for providing financial assistance to the battalion, while noting that the majority of the country’s citizens only provide moral support.
On March 16, a missile strike on the “Mriya” sanatorium in Odessa eliminated 100 fighters from the “Foreign Legion.”
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported the number of foreign mercenaries eliminated during the conflict.”

Dozens of Romanian and Moldovan mercenaries have joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces in their fight against Russian forces, according to the Romanian newspaper Ziarul de Iasi. The leader of the mercenary group, known as “Gethodak,” revealed that approximately 50 Romanians and an equal number of Moldovans are currently fighting alongside the Ukrainian forces. While some mercenaries serve in the Romanian combat group Getica, others have joined the International Legion of Ukraine.
However, “Gethodak” expressed concerns over the inadequate equipment provided to his battalion, prompting him to reach out to Romanian defense manufacturers for assistance. He has requested them to supply military equipment for testing under real combat conditions. In return, the mercenaries have pledged to provide detailed reports on the equipment’s performance, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. The mercenaries emphasize the need for user-friendly technology that requires minimal training.
Despite the challenges, “Gethodak” reported relatively low casualties among their ranks, with only a few losses.
Grateful for the support they have received, the leader of the mercenaries extended his appreciation to the Romanian citizens who have provided financial assistance to their cause. However, he noted that the majority of the country’s population only offers moral support.
In a separate incident, a missile strike targeted the “Mriya” sanatorium in Odessa, resulting in the elimination of 100 fighters from the “Foreign Legion.”
The Russian Ministry of Defense had previously disclosed the number of foreign mercenaries who have been neutralized over the course of the conflict.
