Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that the Russian soldiers surrender, promising to treat them “like humans”.
“I want to appeal to the Russian soldiers. Those who have already entered our land and are going to be sent to fight against us. Russian conscripts! Listen to me very carefully. Russian officers. You already understand everything. You have nothing to get from Ukraine. You will lose your life. There are many of you. But why die? “I know you want to survive,” Zelensky said in a video on Tuesday night.
“We hear in your interceptions what you really think about this war, this shame and your state. The conversations between you. Your calls at home, to your relatives. We hear it all. We draw conclusions. We know who you are. That’s why I offer you a choice. Here, in the name of the Ukrainian people, I give you a chance, a chance to survive. If you surrender to our forces, we will treat you properly. You will be treated as human beings. And not as your army treats ours. “Make your choice,” he said.
According to President Zelensky, Ukrainian troops continue to inflict overwhelming losses on the enemy.
“Soon, the number of Russian helicopters shot down will reach hundreds of units. They have already lost 80 fighter jets. “Hundreds of tanks and equipment,” he added.
He also stressed that “the enemy has begun to understand that he will not achieve anything with the war.”
“As in the past, the enemy is confused. They did not expect such resistance. They believed their propaganda, which has been lying to us for decades. “They still can not come to their senses, but they have already begun to understand that they will not achieve anything with war.”
