Why is Ukraine bothering to take enemy troops alive?

Geneva Conventions, International Laws, etc. Anyone who makes a clear gesture to surrender (such as waving a white flag, tossing their gun away and holding their hands in the air, shouting they surrender, etc), has to be taken captor and can't just be killed on the spot.

That aside and arguably more importantly, a surrendered Russian can be swapped for captured Ukrainians. The more captured Russians, the more captured Ukrainians they can get back by trading with them with Russia.

Very well then, even though Russians act like the Geneva Conventions don't exist. -_-
