The way these people have been treated is a war crime in itself. Used as cannon fodder to advance Putins desire to control Ukraine and steal its resources. They were a pretext for his actions all along, he cares nothing for their lives and has destroyed their cities, towns, villages, homes, businesses and communities.
At some point you can see these DPR / LPR ‘conscripts’ - virtual prisoners being forced to fight - turning on their Russian overseers and gunning them down. They are going to work out which way the wind is blowing and will start fragging officers and eliminating any blocking detachments such as Kadyrovites that stand between them and escape.
