minus-square@calcopirituslink18•4 months agoSource: I’m pulling this out of my ass. Russians are probably telling them how bad PoW get treated by Ukrainians, so their soldiers prefer suicide to being a PoW. The less PoW Ukraine has, the less power they have in prisoner exchange agreements.
minus-square@HappycamperNZlink18•4 months agoSimilar source. I would also question Russian ability and desire to evacuate wounded - would it be better than a slow death.
minus-square@bouhlink9•4 months agoAnd to believe such things, they must have an idea of what Russians are doing to their prisoners of war.
minus-square@Madison420link2•4 months agoNah, they don’t want to get taken prisoner because Russia has been executing their own so they do not allow themselves to be captured. They can kill themselves or they can go pow and fully expect to be killed when they get home.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•4 months agoI’d rather do it while I still had the ability rather than wait for a drone to blow me apart one dropped munition at a time or bleed out from agonising shrapnel wounds. Especially if I were conscripted and not serving because I wanted to.
