At this point the Russians deserters, sane POWs and their families all have a moral decision to make. They have been either duped / coerced into supporting putin's illegal war or they suffer from the same unrecoverable psycopathic ailment as their current thug leadership. As the illegally invading nation, all russians must share in the fall-out. Russia'a criminal invasion of Ukraine has resulted in their nation being internationally isolated and facing sanctions and reparation expenses that will postpone their nations path to prosperity. If they want to be re-accepted into civilized circles and expedite the path to recovery they must work to support or make amends to the Ukrainians. Those awakened and now truly repentant POWs need to support the Russian armed resistance in some form as it works to dispose of putin's regime. Their service will be personally cathartic and set the stage for their offspring to inherit a better life in a more civilized country.
However if investigations suggest some russians are not making the necessary changes, they are not worth trusting. Their international sanctions should continue and commerce only allowed to the extent that Ukraine can be fully compensated for suffering and damage initiated by putins thug regime
