Is it right for me to partake/plan/lead/conduct actions that will see the loss of innocent live in the pursuit of justice for lives already lost? If the villagers don't mean that much to me do I have to move on? Can I move on? if I can't move on and don't want to fight perhaps I can seek refuge with the Russians.

My assumption for the scenario was that the characters would be there because they chose to be there - having decided that the war has gone long enough.
Much is dependent on the characters' mindset about attrocities as well. If they have vowed to uphold the laws of war (to defend the innocent and protect them from unlawful attacks etc.), then they have little choice but to act upon it. If they are, however, with a more practical mindset, they might even try to take advantage of the situation by inciting the villagers to attack the Russians with their help in order to capture equipment (or something else they might fancy, the Russians have and they do not have).
