Pardon me, I mistook your statement as supporting the idea that Russians were surrendering themselves and their equipment. I have my doubts about that, because I’ve been wrong about so many things that have and have not happened.
Obviously there is an objective truth, but it doesn’t seem to be in the combatants’ interests to speak it. And frankly our own government has motivations to lie that go well beyond this war.
