Mirror

Let the earth speak with the crack of bones and the iron of storms, Let the wind carry names erased from lips and stone. Freedom is born from ashes and black tears, And writes the law of its existence in blood.

Let hearts be forged by cold, without the right to pity, Let the path be lit by the shine of broken shackles. There, where life is a strike and a step through pain, Eternity rises, harsh and unforgiving.

Ukrainians fight like hell because they know they will be tortured if they surrender, or might even be killed if they try to.

The main reason to be nice to surrendering enemy combatants is that it motivates them to surrender. If you kill your enemy when he tries to surrender, your chances for victory diminish dramatically.
Ukraine wants victory. The Russia wants to inflict pain. Different goals, different means.
