The Kremlin likely knows that the Russian police and internal troops are no match for a large, motivated, and heavily armed Wagner force that has to win or it will die, which may be why there are reports that Putin, Medvedev, and other members of the regime have fled Moscow.
Of course, Russian soldiers are making the right decision to surrender.
But, I am in Kyiv 🇺🇦: No one ever imagined thousands of Russians surrendering without putting up a fight.
