Those two groups are completely meaningless. One clowngroup is centered around a loudmouth with about 20 people, the other maybe has company strength. They play no role whatsover, hence you never hear from the Ukranian command about doing anything with those clowns. |
...Hence why they should sneak in during the chaos behind enemy lines.
We don't know their size for certain but by most accounts it's quite small, a few hundred or so, but the core issue is that the RVC and FRL have different goals to Ukraine, ones which they likely won't achieve even if Ukraine wins the war. Ukraine's ultimate goal is simply to push Russia out of Ukraine while RVC and FRL's goals are to overthrow Putin.
Unless they change their goals, I don't see what purpose they'd serve to remain part of Ukraine's fighting force post-war, unless they suddenly want to be Ukrainian now instead and officially join as part of Ukraine's military. Seems they'd be better served causing chaos inside of Russia itself via covert operations rather than the small cross-border raids they've been doing and now would be a good time to sneak some in.
And since Ukraine is now the one doing the border raids after using the RVC/FRL for the past year to say "hey, it's not us, it's volunteer groups!" to avoid the West crying at them, but now Ukraine is doing it and Russia didn't escalate at all and the West has saw that Ukraine can invade Russia without pissing their pants, RVC and FRL's main role in the war (the cross-border raids) can be taken over by Ukraine itself.
