As Sychov himself explained, his motivation to stay with the Ukrainian soldiers was the realization that the Russian command had given orders not to take prisoners.

He understood that Russian troops could kill him along with the Ukrainian defenders.

Russians that surrender don't have to serve in the war though, depending on how they surrender they can either wait for exchange, emigration, or even be granted amnesty and stay in the country. I'm proud of anyone who chooses to help my homeland regardless of circumstance.
