They volunteer to join the armed forces once they are promised cushy non-combat positions in the homeland or in the rear. Then they are pressed to form suicide assault groups to execute Zapp Brannigan tactics. Who do you think they are fooling with this assumption that everyone in Russia is suicidal?

I think that the point is that they volunteered to help murder Ukrainians. Some think they are doing work behind the lines to facilitate mass murder. Others know that they are going to actually participate in the murders but have unrealistic ideas about their chances or circumstances.
