...and then they'll come back the next day.
Ukraine puts a lot of effort into killing fleeing Russian soldiers precisely because it's not enough to scare them off. There's literally thousands of videos like this one, of Ukrainian drones hunting down fleeing Russians:
Not just soldiers either. Ukraine also uses drones to hunt down fleeing vehicles, including vehicles bring used to evacuate wounded (only specially marked, unarmed, ambulances have protection in international law):
...and filmed by Russians themselves:
It's a very effective way to kill a lot of Russians who would otherwise try to kill Ukrainians later.
Ukrainian forces also regularly kill wounded Russians before they can be rescued. Again, there's literally thousands of videos like this one:
There's arguments that this type of killing violates international law. But frankly I think that's absurd in this case, and if so, the law is weongy. Ukraine is fighting a defensive war against unjustified extermination. They should not be hobbled by concerns for the aggressors. Given that Russia regularly returns wounded soldiers to the front lines, killing them off when they're vulnerable saves Ukrainian lives.
It's bizarre and frankly disgusting how much you're willing to risk Ukrainian lives for the sake of the scumbags fighting for Russia. A lot more Ukrainians would be dead if they fought the way you want them to.
