Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
I like the idea of the PCs coming from a POW camp that has been liberated by the unit they're now a member of (I'm not tied to the 27th Division).
My plan is to end up with four major factions in the Ukraine, two larger ones and two smaller ones.
Ukrainian Communist Party - this will be the largest single faction (in terms of population controlled) and will consist of the remains of the original Ukrainian USSR authorities. It will be allied with the remaining Soviet controlled divisions.
Ukrainian Nationalist Confederation - this large faction will be pro Ukraine independence but not particularly pro NATO.
Ukrainian Democratic Movement - this faction will be smaller in size, will be pro Ukraine independence but will have links to NATO (though I'm yet to work out just how substantial and effective this support will be). This will be the faction that the PC's new "unit" is a member of.
The Red Bear - this will be a substantial faction based around the Warlord from the Bear's Den module.
There will also be other smaller warlords and independent cities as well.
