    I am curious how these soldiers differ from the ones being used in offensive operations. I suspect they would be border guard units or reservists.

    Haven’t found any images of unit insignias or any ID from this latest batch, curious to know what units are involved

    Interesting situation overall

        You’re absolutely right. That’s why they’re surrendering en masse. Because they had no intentions of being involved in any war.
