The Georgian Legion has been fighting on the side of Ukraine against Russia since 2014, with about 1,300 fighters in its ranks. The unit is subordinate to the Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

More than 50 legion fighters have already lost their lives in combat. The last time the death of one of their fighters was reported was in mid-September.
