As Sychov himself explained, his motivation to stay with the Ukrainian soldiers was the realization that the Russian command had given orders not to take prisoners.
He understood that Russian troops could kill him along with the Ukrainian defenders.

That’s what plenty of people do here on Lemmy, though. And from my experience, their inventive narratives are always wrong. Not just wrong, but often as polarised from the truth as could be.
I think it’s an echo chamber thing. They just assume everything is like how it is in their feed. That view makes the building blocks for a narrative out of nothing. Suddenly the claim is made a person likes killing when there’s nothing indicating that or even a reason to bring it up. Their head just goes there for some reason and with confidence to boot. Weird.
