Ukrainian forces reported online that some Russian soldiers surrendered instead of facing battle, guided by drones to safety. This strategy aids Ukraine in prisoner exchanges, as President Zelensky noted over 4,000 Russian soldiers have been captured, while 7,000 Ukrainians remain in captivity.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, the brigade reported this on Facebook.

“These are the ones who were sent to the front line but decided not to tempt fate and surrendered,” the statement said.
