Russian soldier hands over the tank for $10,000 and Ukrainian citizenship

A Russian soldier has surrendered himself and delivered his Ukrainian troops' tank for a reward of $10,000 (7,500 pounds) and a chance for Ukrainian citizenship.

Misha, one of the invading soldiers, surrendered to a major T-72B3 combat tank after two other crew friends fled and his commanding officer threatened to shoot him.

Ukrainian Interior Affairs Minister Victor Andrusov said Misha had contacted Ukraine's national police by phone and had arranged a place to meet.

He said: “for several weeks in the National Police have been identified by Russian-used phones. On these phones, we regularly send SMS on how to turn in and deliver the equipment. A few days ago Misha called us. We handed the information to him about the Ukrainian military intelligence. Misha said there was almost no food left, military management is chaotic and practically absent. Demoralization is colossal. The Russians are giving up! ”, he said, writes Daily Mail.

The Ukrainian army chose a place where the soldier would turn himself in and use a fear equipped with a camera to ensure that he was not an ambush.

The special forces then banned Misha, who fell upon his face with his hand up as he surrendered.
