  They've killed so many that they're getting tired of killing them.
context: I'm wondering if this is just a propaganda stunt by the Kremlin to recruit more prisoners, by trying to show they're keeping their word.  
  I suspect that not all prisoners who joined the army will be treated this well, and many won't even survive the war to enjoy any freedom. >
  
  Most are getting recruited into Wagner, which has spent a lot of the recent months fighting in WW1 style conditions in Backhmut and taking heavy casualties, so you're probably right in that the survival chances of these prisoners is very low. Especially if the rumours of the Wagner forces using the prisoners as glorified meat shields are anything to go by. >
  
  You could be right. The BBC had this quote “Wagner soldiers openly advance under fire towards us even if they're littering the land with their bodies, even if out of 60 people in their platoon only 20 are left. It's very difficult to hold against such an invasion. We weren't prepared for that, and we're learning now," Commander Skala says.”
