My naive, optimistic guess is that they really don’t want the Ukrainian forces to summarily execute him from a distance, and so many Russian soldiers have faked surrenders over the past 2 years that they figure anything less than taping this man’s arms around a tree will just get this guy killed.
Interesting idea, but i dont think they would help him surrender unless they wanted to themselves. Maybe im just too pessimistic about the compassion of russian soldiers tho.
