Here's hoping they see some type of mercy and able to make it home at one point, but it's grim.
That's not entirely accurate from what I've read. Or perhaps I missed the complete surrender.

The servicemen evacuated yesterday were the severely wounded. They were to be taken to receive Russian medical treatment, and then there would be a subsequent prisoner swap.

As far as I could tell there still remains a sizeable number of UAF troops in the factory.
