He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.

The trick is fighting or running in shackles. If they ain't gonna fight, why waste the upkeep on them. Execute them.
You can always sell their remains and make good money off them... as the Zelensky team seems to be doing long time now.

dumBAss, if you do not have Ruzzian citizenship I think that it fits you perfectly. You can cite the Bible like a Christian Integrist but are obviously capable of thinking as the Chinese socipath you really are in the same day.
You are going to have to hope that it happens again, else... you can solve the following problem: how many decades does it take for a slimy snail to crawl 600,000 square kilometers.
This has been commented in Ukraine, a new unit was formed entirely of new recruits and obviously they lacked cohesion and got scared quite rapidly, as it was to be expected. That is war, lessons are learned and next time the new recruits will be mixed or trained with veterans or go first on lower intensity missions.
I have recently seen a video of Ruzzian soldiers being driven to the front in shackles. I wonder why?
Meanwhile, this month has been the worst ever in the war for the Ruzzian infrastructure, There has been a multi-million loss nearly every other day of the month on the infrastructure that Ruzzia requires to sustain its economy.
https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/ukraines-near-daily-strikes-on-russian-military-targets-is-a-major-shift-in-drone-and-missile-development-5398While Ruzzia is not only fighting the last war, but also negotiating the last war - crazily insisting in limiting Ukrainian troops when most of their losses come from the drones and it would be very easy to create an army, call it the Civilian Security Police and have them in reserve, keep the tanks in Poland,...
In the end the US plan is working quite well. Some sources state that Ruzzia has lost nearly 10.000 vehicles, the oil infrastructure will require billions in investment, they still have Putin (which they did not want to change), Ukraine is alive and ready for a proper reconstruction and becoming a land of opportunity and growth.
The loosers, as of today, the Ukranian that died, the Ruzzians that died, Putin and BTW Germany and Central Europe in economy - but at the same time is safer since Ruzzia has used up plenty of irreplaceable material.
The US is also happy to see that if they need (or when) go to war with China over Taiwan, they will not have 10000 ruzzian tanks appearing here and there.
You're right. The motivation of the Russian military is very low, they fight only for the sake of money.
