Romanian Mercs Claim Involvement in Ukrainian Attempts to Infiltrate Russia's Border
Amid dwindling NATO military aid for the Kiev regime and successful efforts by Russian troops to push through heavily fortified Ukrainian defenses in Donbass, Ukrainian forces have undertaken several attempts to break into Russia's Belgorod and Kursk regions in recent months, only to be "decisively repelled.”
Mercenaries from the Romanian Battlegroup "Getica" claim they participated in the
recent spate of attacks on Russian border regions together with the
Russian Volunteer Corps*.
Representatives of the group also published videos of the brazen attacks and shelling of Russian border regions on social media networks.
In late February, Radio Romania Actualitati reported that Romanian volunteers were fighting on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and cited Romanian Battlegroup "Getica" and its social media page.
It was noted that the group was formed last September and began its activities by uniting Romanian fighters who were already in various military units and structures of the Ukrainian Army. It was purported that the group unites native Romanian speakers in Ukraine, as well as citizens of Romania and Moldova.
The group purportedly engages in recruitment on social networks. The earlier mentioned social media page contains, in particular, an interview with an operational commander of the group, who goes by the name of "GetoTac." According to the soldier, the group mainly specializes in technology and military intelligence. He also claimed that the Romanian Battlegroup "Getica" is not an official recruiter for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but unites volunteers.
The Romanian community is the third largest ethnic group in Ukraine, after Ukrainians and Russians.
Last week, the Russian military, together with units of the border service of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB),
thwarted Ukraine's attempt to break into the Russian border area in the Belgorod and Kursk regions. Russian soldiers and border guards destroyed up to 60 Ukrainian soldiers that tried to infiltrate Russia's Belgorod region, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"Up to 60 Ukrainian terrorists were destroyed on the border territory from Ukraine in the area of Odnorobovka, three tanks and an armored personnel carrier in the area of Nekhoteevka, and two tanks in the area of Spodaryushino," the statement said.
The week-long campaign to secure the border waged by the Russian military, FSB border troops, and other security forces along the special operation zone resulted in heavy losses for the attacking side, with all assaults "
decisively repelled." On Saturday, the MoD
reported a new effort to penetrate the border. The past 24 hours have witnessed a
series of preemptive strikes in Ukrainian territory,
including in the Chernigov region, against concentrations of potential sabotage units.
"All attempts by sabotage and terrorist gangs consisting of regular enemy units and foreign mercenaries...to break into our territory have failed," President Vladimir
