Poor sods; but those older ones might have the sense to escape if an opportunity comes up, or surrender as fast as possible.
The good thing is that it does make it obvious that Putin is desperate. Though of course, that might make him do something stupider than what he's already done.
Its really sad, lots of young lives wasted.
It is good to see that at least a few have been surrendering during this occupation anyway.
Ukraine has a website running with instructions on how to surrender. its called "i want to live"

Russia has been trying to block traffic to it because they are getting alot of hits from conscripts.
