FOR THE RIGHT PRICE: Russian Soldier Allegedly Surrenders Tank For $10K, Ukrainian Citizenship

A Russian soldier allegedly surrendered his tank to Ukraine, claiming his military bosses’ war campaign was too “chaotic” and that he’d rather take up the Ukrainians’ offer for resettlement than continue fighting, the NY Post reports. The soldier will eventually receive $10,000, a comfortable place to live and a chance to apply for citizenship, a Ukrainian official said.

“The Russians are giving up!” Victor Andrusiv, Ukraine’s Minister of Internal Affairs, recently wrote on Facebook in a post translated to English. Andrusiv said Ukraine has been sending Russia soldiers SMS messages telling them how to surrender and where to hand over their military gear.

“A few days ago, ‘Misha’ called us,” he wrote, appearing to use an alias for the Russian soldier. Misha pulled up in a tank and was the only one left in his unit, Adrusiv claimed. The Russian soldier surrendered his tank, saying that the military campaign was too “chaotic.”

“Until the war ends, he will live in comfortable conditions with a TV, phone, kitchen and shower,” Adrusiv said.
