"A Russian soldier surrendered to Ukraine via a message that he wrote on cardboard that was spotted by a drone, Ukrainian military units said. The 16th Army Corps said on Wednesday that drone pilots discovered a Russian soldier in Lyman, a town in the eastern region of Kharkiv, who wrote the surrender messages. One read "Please take me prisoner, I want to live," per the translation by Ukrainian state outlet United24."
"The corps said the Russian was given instructions on how to surrender and was detained. Drone footage shared by the corps shows a small building with cardboard signs in the window and on the ground. It then shows a Ukrainian soldier writing on some cardboard, apparently writing instructions for the soldier to be delivered by drone. Two Ukrainians then appear to approach and walk with the Russian."
