My guess is that the Ukrainian command is giving mercenaries specific tasks that don't require integration into bigger units.

Russia has definitely had all sorts of mercenaries in the region since the last round of hostilities started.
Mercenary units are units. They have command structure. They aren’t just a bunch of dudes with military experience.

I guess maybe these guys will be deployed well behind the lines guarding depots and stuff. But I have a hard time seeing how they could be deployed on the front lines or in areas where they have to maneuver and coordinate with regular forces.
