There was also some Ukrainian Officer that said any captured Russian or Chechen solders would be castrated (Lol! Pretty sure that one has to be a Geneva Convention Violation). But you got to give those guys points for their creativity, I bet if morale in the Russian ranks was low, it got a lot lower after hearing that.
If castration and torture was the outcome of surrender in a war that I was a. Combatant I would never surrender. Serious mistreatment of prisoners of war is counterproductive.
