15 to 25k in Kherson will have to surrender at some point.
The main issue, if they don't surrender, is the traumatic effect on the Ukrainian troops who will have to slaughter them.
In the last "boiler" in Lyman 2500 Nazi occupiers were surrounded and they were not told to surrender or that they were surrounded. 1000 to 1500 dead as they attempted a retreat. Horrible smell and disgusting sight.
Kherson night be easier if more surrender and they congregate near bridges so artillery and HIMARS (a new anti personnal missiles have been supplied) can do the Lords work.
Ukraine only needs a couple of thousand prisoners for a 1:1 swap,
Putin for his part doesn't seem to care about swapping unless it's his Karate buddies. He's happy to see 500k dead as its only 2% of the Russian manforce.
