The Danube Cossack Host (Ukrainian: Дунайське козацьке військо) was a Ukrainian Cossack Host formed in 1828, before the Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829). It was formed by descendants of the Zaporozhian Cossacks who lived in Bessarabia, especially in the Budjak region. A Ukrainian Cossack Host called the Lower Danube Budjak Host had been formed in the same area in 1807 but was disbanded shortly thereafter. The Host included volunteers from various groups, such as the Nekrasov Cossacks, Romanians, Serbs, and Bulgarians. At first, the Cossacks controlled three selos in the Akkerman Poviat: Akmangit, Starokazachye, and Volonterovka.
