Three Ukrainian organizations in Russia have been declared "extremist". SICH-14, the Volunteer Movement of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, and the Black Committee group were included in the Rosfinmonitoring register.

SICH-14 is a Ukrainian neo-Nazi group founded in 2009. With the outbreak of the war in Donbass, C14 formed several reconnaissance and analytical groups to participate in hostilities and study the situation. C14 participants were, in particular, in the Azov battalion.

The "OUN Volunteer Movement" was created on the basis of the Ukrainian armed formation "OUN Battalion". In 2015, the unit was disarmed and withdrawn from the combat zone. The members of the battalion refused to become subordinate to the Ukrainian army.

The Black Committee was founded in 2009 by independent activists. Actively participated in the resistance to the Yanukovych regime and in the Ukrainian revolution of 2014. Then the activists of the Black Committee, along with other organizations, joined the ranks of the Right Sector.
