Sometimes soldiers get serious or fatal wounds. But there is no way to get them to an aid station. So the choice is a: let them die a slow agonizing death or b: shoot them and end their misery.
Having said that there are pretty shocking vids of Russians abandoning wounded comrades, leaving them to bleed out in open fields while the others run away.
