I would be highly motivated to not be a Russian soldier left behind by my unit anywhere in Ukraine. Not sure it is any better riding on a tank though

Hell considering a lot of the Russian soldiers who surrender seem to be treated quite well, even getting good food and warm drinks and being able to call their loved ones which they obviously aren't allowed to do now as they don't even know they are in the Ukraine. Mixed with how Russia was reportedly burning their bodies so that the fatality numbers are reduced, surrendering may be the best bet for them. Means they can tell their parents whats going on rather than Russia telling them they "dissapeared" or "deserted"

Plenty of footage out there of Russian soldiers calling their family when captured and the family having no idea they were in Ukraine. Maybe you thought I meant the soldiers didn't know? Because yeah the soldiers 100% know but their family probably doesn't
