The author of the article prrefers "ruscism" to make it clearer that the word is a mashup of "russian" and "fascism". That's probably a better way to do it, as "rascism" is too close to "racism", even though the Russians are using Nazi-grade racist reasoning to justify their aggression.
One Ukrainian joke seems to get at Russian military readiness:
The Russians are using the letter "Z" to mark their vehicles because the other half of the swasika was stolen from the warehouse.
There are unconfirmed reports that the Ukrainians hit a Russian command center in the Kherson region, killing two or three generals and an unknown number of staff officers. That may or not be accurate. But it does seem that the Ukrainians are attacking military targets, while the Russians take great pleasure in attacking civilian targets: Apartment blocks, hospitals, and so on.
