    Putin doesn’t want soldiers surrendering at all. He wants them to fight or die. NK soldiers may even hope to defect and trade their knowledge for citizenship and a cabin in Montana.

      OK, now you’re making more sense. But how does your previous comment make sense?

      I think I finally get it. You meant that Russian POWs would get food, and thus they are surrendering. I still don’t see what that has to do with shooting North Koreans.

        in the cold with no food

        Not OP, but I was assuming cannibalism. Hungry Russian soldiers need food.

        I remember hearing that Afghan soldiers brought goats with them on longer missions because live food doesn’t spoil.

        Or maybe just fewer mouths to feed with via the Russian supply lines
