Ukraine

I think that speaks more to the Russian mindset that there will be no rescue, if there was, they return to a Country that doesn't give 2 shirts about them, so why not.

Think about the deplorable state of your country that a soldier asks to be shot dead.
He did ask his buddy to shoot him right where he shot him, the sign language is clear on that point .

He pointed repeatedly to the spot on his head where he wanted that bullet to go. He was going to die, that explosion got him.

I suppect it took his tesitcals. Both legs were ruined as well, they would cut them off, a triple amputee, that would be hard to face.

All he would have left is his two upper arms.
