There is draw to them and other traditional congregations for men that feel left behind by the mainstream.
The same sort of men that will watch RT because they (rightfully) think they can't trust mainstream media, they just make the mistake of thinking that they can trust the "alternative" media.
In short those are contrarians that are equally drawn to the orthodox church/die hard protestant groups/SSPX and RT.
I haven't met any of the clergy in SSPX that isn't more positive towards the Ukrainians but they just want the war to end. In a way the same as the Church as a whole including the Pope.

Ukraine on InstaPope Francis in December 2023 transferred money from his personal account to purchase drones for the Ukrainian army. This was reported by journalist Oleksandr Zinchenko.
According to him, a fundraiser was announced for the soldiers of the 93rd Brigade "Kholodnyi Yar." At that time, a trusted representative of the Pope called him and offered help.
Thanks to the fundraiser, two drones were purchased, but the Pope also paid for a third drone, which they wanted to name in his honor, but "decided someone might guess." So the third drone was named "Santa," and the donor – "Secret Santa."
Yet apropos of that, Pope Francis who never condemned the invasion except in vague terms of condemning war generally, apparently funded some Ukrainian Army drones.
If someone who sees themselves as contrarian doesn't take care to inform themselves fully (which is hard given work and family) they tend unfortunately to become rope a dope easy prey for anti-Western tyrants.
