Of course the evidence says some are, but Ukraine has always tried to occupy the moral high ground, as indeed it is entitled. PoWs en masse, whatever they are called, come with big responsibilities and consume big resources. If what we read is true, they can probably be guarded by very basically trained troops, but they need food, shelter and medical support.
The problem I foresee is General Winter: Ukraine itself will need food, shelter and medical support for its own army and its battered stoical population.
NATO needs a good plan to help with the end game, if end game it is.
