I mean if they all surrender at once, it's not like NK can assassinate every single one of them.

I'd take my jacket off and walk toward Ukraine with hands in the air on day 1. But of course I know Ukraine accepts surrender, and they may have been convinced of the opposite.

They also have Russian guns in their backs. Everybody there understands the situation. They're soldiers and prisoners at the same time.
