Russian soldiers beg Shoigu for vacation, complaining about lack of winter uniforms and heaters.
They say gasoline and food are in short supply.
The occupiers from the 2nd Battalion, 6th Company, 26th Motorized Rifle Regiment, Military Unit 12267, recorded an appeal to the minister of defense, specifying that "in seven months, the soldiers have not had a single vacation, while the number of dead and wounded is growing."
If the Russians are afraid to surrender to Ukranian forces, perhaps some other country could step up and offer to take ANY surrendering Russian troops. France or Germany or somebody. Might make them more comfortable with surrender.
But nato countries can't send troups there, that would be a declaration of war, and in order to become prisoners, they will first need to surrender to Ukrainian soldiers, which they believe will torture and kill them much more painfully than their own sergent.
That was the point. Foreign countries would notify Russian soldiers (leaflets? texting? bullhorn?) that if they surrender to Ukranians, they will be immediately be transported to the back lines and handed over to NATO or somebody. Russians stay safe, Ukraine can still question them, win-win - oh, and they start surrendering faster - win.
