I feel bad for the soldiers on both sides but I’ve been seeing the footage regarding the Russian soldiers being killed when they probably could’ve been captured as prisoners. These are probably poor uneducated young man being led to the slaughter. Why would you allow convoys of Russian tanks with one or the most two vehicles at a time. When they die their bodies are cremated and no one back home is going to know the truth of what happened. This is sick and sad and the hard fact is our country is pushing for this war to continue.
“our country is pushing for this war to continue”
Huh? The only one who can stop the war is Putin. It will be over the minute he orders his troops back to Russia. There’s nothing “our country” can do to stop him from doing that.
Capturing is very high risk, and will cost you troops. Unless they actually surrender, capturing is not even considered. Also, taking prisoners is a huge burden when your country is being overrun by a superior force. Badly needed troops are sucked away to deal with transporting, housing, guarding, feeding and providing medical care for them.
Ukrainians are fighting and dying for their own soil, no different than if you were fighting foreign invaders in Georgia. A policy of "don't kill the invaders if you don't have to" isn't really reasonable. The deaths of Russian soldiers are 100% on Putin.
