I don't. They got sent and went to another sovereign country and started a war. These same soldiers you have empathy for will gladly shoot Ukraine soldiers and civilians.
How many of these 'non-psychopath' soldiers have killed innocent people in Ukraine?
They all went and they all are complicit to the murder, torture and rape of Ukraine. They can go suck on a grenade while the pin is out. No sympathy for these fascists.
We dehumanize them to make the necessary act of killing them easier for us.
It's not about degrading them or anything. It's about staying sane. If you would treat every dead Russian soldier as an individual who had dreams at one point, your sanitary would be the next victim of this war.
When you defend your country you can't have that, so you kill orks instead of humans. When the war is over, there will be a lot of work for therapists I guess.
You're not on the front lines and you've never been to war have you?
