Not sure why the existence of a volunteer militia indicates a general unwillingness to fight for the government?

The US also has plenty of volunteer militias, yet I doubt that could be seen as an indicator for Americans unwillingness to fight for their country.

The Ukrainian government deputized ideological extremists to retake/hold territory controlled by pro-Russian separatists.

I'll concede to your comparison to a US militia when some state like Florida leaves the union and the US has to arm some QAnon loons to take it back.
