A video has emerged on social media showing what appears to be three Russian soldiers surrendering to Ukrainian forces as their armored personnel carrier (APC) flies a makeshift white flag.
Vitaly Kim, head of the Nikolayev region’s military administration, shared the video on his official Telegram channel Wednesday, claiming that the Russian soldiers sold the armored vehicle to the Ukrainian military as part of the surrender process….
It comes after Ukraine’s parliament passed a law in April offering Russian troops monetary compensation if they willingly surrender military equipment to Kyiv’s forces.
Those who turn in a plane should expect be paid $1 million, while surrendering a tank would be rewarded with $100,000. An APC like the one seen in the video would make its occupants $50,000 richer.
