I don't understand. The NK troops are fighting for Putin. If they become prisoners of war, the Ukrainians will be the ones feeding them. Why wouldn't Putin want that?

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
