Ordo_Bellatores ,

I am curious how these soldiers differ from the ones being used in offensive operations. I suspect they would be border guard units or reservists.

Haven’t found any images of unit insignias or any ID from this latest batch, curious to know what units are involved

Interesting situation overall

Just thinking out loud…

As a surrendered Russian soldier…

Would you want to be returned to your home country? Would you be safe from your military political leaders?

there’s an option to join free russia battalion, probably, they don’t take everyone. that’s an unit within ukrainian army. service guarantees citizenship, maybe, or something

So there will be a prisoner swap later… In Russia, what kind of reception might a soldier get once it’s learned that they surrendered? At best they’ll immediately be sent back to the front?

one wagner soldier was infamously executed with a sledgehammer when he was let back into his unit

Ukraine should hold a fake trial and convict them all, then sentence them to death like the Russians do. This will ratchet up the pressure and make Russia give more concessions.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Putin couldn’t care less about the lives of his citizens or soldiers.

phoneymouse ,

He offered a prisoner swap

Buffalox ,

Probably so he can enroll them again, and to prevent they get “brainwashed” by the truth in Ukraine.

Buffalox ,

Largest surrender so far…

Keep them a couple of months, riling up “important” people in St Petersbourg & Moscow… No wonder Putin wants to swap asap!

NoiseColor ,

They should do the swap but at the last moment change them with some poor idiots from the provinces instead of the sons of moscowites here.
