I feel like the only way to have your life valued in the Russian military is to successfully infiltrate behind Ukrainian lines while most of the soldiers around you are killed, regroup with others and establish yourself as the dominant leader by any means necessary and then make contact with the "worthless" Russian soldiers that haven't passed through the crucible of the frontline yet.

Under these conditions how would you survive that much longer than any other Russian charging the frontlines? Unless you succeed in surving the battle royale of penetrating Ukrainian frontlines (a very bad bet) the longer you survive the more evidence there is for the Russian military that you are useless for not dying in the act of trying to infiltrate already.

This is likely already a memorial to dead soldiers, there isn't any way out alive unless you get captured by Ukraine.
