While Putin will go easy on captured Ukrainians (many will see their families again as many were forced at gunpoint to the frontline) these foreign mercenaries will probably face death. Putin doesn’t take too well to foreigners premeditated murder of the Russian people. Useful idiot.
Yupp. Ukraine people involved whether they wanted to or not. Foreign people went out of their way to make their choice. I can see why he'd be less lenient on them
"The Geneva Conventions declare that mercenaries are not recognized as legitimate combatants and do not have to be granted the same legal protections as captured service personnel of the armed forces."

In fact, this applies.
