Man, these guys seem really stupid. If i was on the wrong side of a war and was left out to dry without even getting paid i think I'd just defect.
Not to mention they ARE offered full safety if they defect. With full protocol provided
A good percentage of them probably thinks that the Ukrainians would torture them (because that's what they'd do to Ukrainians), not to mention how many Russians think Ukrainians are somehow subhuman.
That's easier said than done. Also, most of them agree on principle that Russia is justified to invade Ukraine. They just think that it's others that should do the dying.
Yes, and face death penalty. And surrendering to Ukrainians is a tough deal, because propaganda tells them that Ukrainians will give them much worse than death if they surrender.
If my job stopped paying me, I'd switch and they don't even expect me to risk my life!
