        They actually do have a choice, three of them in fact:

        1. Kill their own chain of command, from the company up to the field-level batallion commander.

        2. Commit suicide after killing their own Russian fellow soldiers by shooting them in the back.

        3. Surrender to Ukraine forces.

        There were plenty of choices.

        • Fleeing the country
        • Going to jail
        • Desertion
        • Surrender

        There’s a chance of death in all those situations, but I’d rather take those chances any day than taking a similar chance while committing evil. Arguably those chances of death are lower than letting it get to the point where you’re actually in battle.
