In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, there are also a large number of volunteers from all over the world fighting against the Ukrainian army in the Russian army. Among them, a group of Frenchmen have formed an independent detachment, codenamed "Normandie-Neman". These Frenchmen are different from mercenaries; they joined the Russian army purely because they oppose the new Nazis in Ukraine, and Russian President Putin has publicly acknowledged their existence.

In fact, there is another group of Israelis in the Russian army who have been fighting alongside pro-Russian militias in the eastern Ukraine region since 2014. This group also has an independent unit called the "Ariya" detachment. They, too, harbor deep hatred for Nazis, and the Ukrainian neo-Nazi armed groups are their targets to eliminate.
