Any captured Westerners will have the interesting dilemma of (a) being considered as mercenaries, and thus outside the protection of the Geneva accords, or (b) being considered as national co-belligerents, which makes NATO nations part of the war and thus legitimate targets. Nations who play footsie (such as Poland) might be faced with a demand to be neutral, or suffer the fate of being a co-belligerent.
