Welp, better them deserting than fighting this war. Best chance for them is to go West and hope the Russian Army just presumes them as KIA.

This is probably even better for Ukraine than capturing/killing them.
More deserting would encourage others to do the same. They'll also spread the truth about the "special operation" back home.

Considering the circumstances, a wise move.
