Putin killed those soldiers for his ego

No.

They went to die for Putin's ego.

Because they feel that they share his ego. In sending them to useless death, he shows he's a strong leader – as the soldiers want. They are glad to be part of their Strong Leader's plans. That makes them feel strong.

Remember, the Russia has not started sending conscripts to the front yet. All soldiers are there of their own choice. Mostly for money, but also for their country finally doing what they want it to do: Bruteness.
