 Some Moldavian-designated multinational groups were established by September, when they participated in an attack on Shepetivka railway station in "Reichskommissariat Ukraine", and reportedly killed some 2,000 Germans.According to Moraru, these units were generally made up of Moldavian Russians and Ukrainians, with only "20 Russified Moldovans" registered by 1944.During the Battle of the Dnieper in late 1943, Salogor was also in contact with the Ukrainian partisans, reporting on their attacks on the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, in preparation for the eventual capture of Kiev.
