Russian soldier surrenders to Ukrainian drone on Bakhmut battlefield.

A Russian soldier, Ruslan Anitin, surrendered to Ukrainian drones after his entire unit was taken out by drone and mortar attacks near Bakhmut. Anitin used hand signals to communicate with the Ukrainian drone pilots, who guided him across enemy lines. An assault drone had already been sent out to kill Anitin, but when the drone’s pilot saw the high-definition images of Anitin begging for his life, he decided to abort the mission. Anitin was eventually captured by Ukrainian forces and expressed a desire to return to Russia, even if it means going to jail.
