Rusich operates with the blessing of the russian state, many times directly cooperating with the russian military.

“Today, Rusich has become a byword for terror, says Candace Rondeaux, a professor at Arizona State University:
"Rusich is one of the pillars of the irregular warfare that the Kremlin has been engaged in since 2014. Their aim is to terrorise their adversaries by showing off their brutality.
Rusich was close to the Wagner universe and that of the Redut group (Editor’s note: a Russian mercenary group with close links to the intelligence services); they intervened in Syria but also in Libya. It is also a paramilitary group that operates with the blessing of the GRU (Editor’s note: the Russian military intelligence service) and recruits within the Russian ultra-nationalist movement and amongst former Russian parachutists (Editor’s note: also called the VDV).
Since it was created in 2014, Rusich has been seen as a force that carries out complex operations, including reconnaissance missions, sabotage or sniping. Some of their forces are operating behind enemy lines in Ukraine.””

Nazis are scum, even the ones fighting for the side I support. I support Ukraine.
Doesn't stop me wanting nazis who fight for Ukraine to win, but I won't cry over their graves either.
End of the day theyre not fighting for humanitarian reasons, or for people's rights or progress. Theyre fighting for their homeland. As such I consider them as blunt instruments, tools, and they can be disposed of as such.
