If they capture enough.. They could negotiate a surrender/end to this stupid fucking war by holding them hostage until public pressure increases enough.

Pooty poot doesn't care about that. Its what he does and I can assure you if Ukraine stooped that low which isn't likely putin would sooner see them dead. After all putin thinks children's hospitals are okay to attack.

PoW can be held, not with a threat to them, but just held. Show their faces. Allow them to talk. Keep housing them and showing them day after day. Hamas haven't threatened their hostages (openly), they have just held them.

there are Russian families that have been given bodies to bury when their children are actually POWs in Ukraine

Jesus Christ imagine putting this much effort into obfuscating the truth. Like the media apparatus we live in in the west deserves criticism for obfuscating truth but usually its from being willingly lazy, not out of being willfully... Whatever this is

I don't even know if it was obfuscation as much as incompetence

Those are the original sins; the disinfo media's job is to gaslight and favorably spin any bad news.

I just don't understand the propaganda benefit of telling somebody that their son is dead instead of a POW. and then, you're giving the family a body.

sounds like they just don't care enough, and people are probably frequently being mixed up

There isnt any propaganda benefit beyond "your son died hero killing many Ukraini! Here is bottle of BLYATT THATS STRONG and two hundred ruble." The families of enlisted know their sons died in vain, but they cant do shit about it so the pundits get to say whatever they want because theyre "taking care of the family of our fallen soldiers."

But youre right, nobody gives a fuck. Remember when the mobniks brought along mobile incinerators to the front? That was because they knew casualties would be ridiculously high, so they needed the means of destroying evidence (i.e. mobnik corpses)

No evidence is as good as never happened to Russia.
