If you bothered reading the points in the law you linked, then you'd quickly see that he very much falls under the category of a mercenary. The fact that a bunch of marauders got together and call themselves an "international legion" doesn't change the nature of what's happening. Keep on digging though, it's adorable.

They are an official part of the Ukrainian armed forces though

The international legion is a official unit of the armed forces of Ukraine, set up by the Ukrainian MOD. Try again.

I mean Azov nazis are also an official unit of the armed forces of Ukraine, so sure any fascist can officially fight for Ukraine.
