Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

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.
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
