Por que no los dos? Wouldn't there be a lot of overlap between people who like STALKER (a video game set in Ukraine, demonizing soviet Russia) and people who think "Ukraine good, Russia bad"?
From what I understand It's a flag of a fictional obscure Ukrainian group in the game that just so happens to share a name with a far right Ukrainian political party that exist in real life, Svoboda.
If anything, they portray the Ukrainian military as thoroughly corrupt and incompetent, showing it as completely incapable of actually stopping the movement of people and artifacts in and out of the Zone, and its low-level soldiers as underequipped, demoralized, and often easily bribable.
I really wonder how the new game is going to handle that angle, given the changed political climate.

its just wierd that they are like "this is a flag of some obscure ukrainian group" when its just a logo from the game

A Ukrainian company making a game in 2009 doesn't accidently use the name Svoboda.
People put "freedom" in names and iconography all the time. It's almost generic.
Did the games have a "ukraine good" message? It seems like it was more "USSR bad"
