Those that surrender are promised they will be treated well, be able to contact relatives, and have access to medical care. And that Ukraine will follow the protocols of the Geneva Conventions.
Representative Andriy Yusov from Ukraine’s ministry of defense said they have received calls from soldiers awaiting deployment and Russian troops who are already in Ukraine.
Yusov, claims Ukraine received 1.2 million inquiries about the “I want to live” program since it was set up on Sept. 18. And most are from Russia.
The “people who are studying for themselves or their relatives the possibility of saving lives in the bloody and unjust war.”
Meanwhile, the Russians are sending SMS messages to Ukrainian mobile phone subscribers. The program is known as the Russian “text-to-surrender” campaign.
And then came drones
The drone initiative was started in late November.
Thousands of drones are being used in Ukraine to bomb the enemy, guide missiles to their targets, and spy on Russian movements.
The Ukrainian military has gotten very creative with a new program to use drones. They are now employed to guide Russian soldiers to a safe surrender.
