From my understanding, these guys are probably the most eager volunteers there are in this war. Both of those groups are also reported to have strong far-right leanings/connections. If that makes it easier to stomach.
Freedom of Russia (which makes active noise about being centrist instead of far-right) claims to be "two battallions", my guess neither battallion is very big. Russian Volunteer Corps is maybe a few hundred guys. They're paramilitary, guerrillas essentially. Big enough to do some aggressive raids and cause real problems in an area without a proper military presense, but they don't have the means to fight the Russian military head on.
They'll break some stuff, steal some stuff, take some prisoners, take a lot of pictures and video, and go back over the border until next time.
