Abandoned by his comrades and left alone on the battlefield, a Russian soldier named “Misha” has decided to surrender to the Ukrainian army. He signaled his surrender by raising the white flag and asking opponents to spare him. Misha wanted to flee, but his general threatened to shoot him. The soldier then stayed to fight, but shortly thereafter decided to surrender to the Kyiv army. Ukrainian Interior Minister Victor Andrusiv posted the story on Facebook, writing that the soldier “saw no reason to continue the war” and was afraid to return to his homeland. This is how his surrender was organized.

«Misha contacted us a few days ago. We passed the information to military intelligence. The place of the meeting was agreed, and a drone confirmed that Misha was indeed alone, wrote Andrusiv, specifying that at the end of the war the Russian soldier will receive a monetary award of $ 10,000. In the meantime, he would have been assured of a TV, a phone and some food, and would also have the opportunity to apply for Ukrainian citizenship. Andrusiv said Ukrainian forces regularly send messages to Russian soldiers, offering them a way out as long as they surrender all weapons.
