Why is he crawling? He seems Not to have any disabling wounds?
The difference is startling they get to live without fear once they realise they aren’t going to be tortured and executed…just a shame the hackers can’t get this on Russian state tv so everyone can see that they will be looked after better by Ukraine than they are by their fellow countrymen 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦👍😎🫶🏻
Damn that PTSD, he’s still frantically looking around the sky for drones.
By all available means, push videos of this type through every imaginable channel for the word to spread. Let surrender become the *modus operandi* on that side of the trenchline!
smartest thing this guy ever did…
I hope more russians smarten up and live…
He may at first appear a bit silly running around in just his undershorts like that.
But actually.. that is the attire of a very smart man.
About one of the smartest russians I have seen.
Unfortunately, he could very well be Ukrainian pushed/forced to the front by Orcs.
It would have been proper to blur his face. He did the right thing but he or his family may face retribution. Russian bloggers will identify him.
This to me was pretty moving – watching the Ukrainians treat their POWs humanely and allowing them to surrender shows you the kind of people Ukrainians are. It would be so easy to just give into hatred and want revenge for the mistreatment of Ukrainian POWs or for the war in general.
There’s obviously a utilitarian component as POWs can have intel, or be traded for Uk soldiers but it doesn’t change the above.
More of this, please. Surrender has always been an option from the aggressors. Nobody wants to be there.
Just a kid.. probably my age
This is another reason why Ukraine should be closer to the civilized world and further from russia.
One at a time. Happy to see some Russians still have some common sense in them
Wait, I was told so many times by very smart people that it is not possible to surrender to a drone?!
How come?
Looks like this guy is surrendering to a drone? :O NO WAY!
Almost as if these mindless meatbags had an actual choice to make, even when they are on the frontlines already!
Try to surrender, what could go wrong? They are going to kill you anyway, if you don’t.
Bonus points if you have the opportunity to wave to a spotter drone, instead of waiting for the angry FPVs to arrive a minute later.
I think its important to remember that Russians are ultimately going to be the people who fix the problems in Russia (even though Ukraine is doing a lot of the heavy lifting right now).
Regardless of his reasons, I applaud this man for having the courage to surrender properly. I also have a lot of respect for the Ukrainian soldiers behaving so professionally despite what they have likely been through.
Victory for Ukraine also means peace for Russia.
Look, unless this soldier committed crimes I wish him a long life now. But he must tell two friends how he was given a second life in Ukraine, a miracle. Then they tell two friends. And so on.
There are only two good kind of Russians. Dead Russians and Russians with enough fear/compassion/whatever to surrender and spend the rest of the war as a comfortable POW
Smart Z facist, he will live.
Good for him.
He made the right call.
It’s a scary decision for sure. He can’t know 100% if all the propaganda he’s been fed is real or not. But he does know he is out gunned and his life is worth more than anything Russia is doing.
For anyone with a conscience, I’m betting you see a LOT of things on the Russian side that make you sick. And a lot of them are just looking for a moment they can successfully surrender.
One less person the Ukrainian defenders are forced to kill. I’m happy for every successful surrender. Less needless bloodshed, and more common sense prevailing.

Як брали орка в полон мавіком.
А тепер порівняйте – що роблять з полоненими вони і ми.
How they captured an orc with a mavik.
And now compare – what they and we do with the prisoners.
