I don't know where this is, but they are being very smart.

They are treating these poor young Russian soldiers with great dignity and compassion. I hope we all learn from them.

(12,904 posts)I feel so badly for these Russian soldiers. It must be terrible to be sent to kill someone who may be your neighbors cousin, or your best friends brother in law. I cant even imagine.
I hope they all surrender, and live a better life in Ukraine.
