A strange new trend is happening on the battlefield in Ukraine. Russian soldiers are finding new ways to give up and stop fighting. Instead of just walking toward Ukrainian lines with their hands up, they are using technology to help them surrender.

Russian troops are now following drones sent by the Ukrainian military. The drones act like guides. They fly a short distance and wait for the soldiers to follow them. The soldiers walk behind the drones until they reach a safe spot where they can turn themselves in to Ukrainian forces.

This is a big change from how soldiers usually surrender. It is very dangerous for a soldier to try to give up. They risk being shot by their own side for leaving, or they might be fired at by the other side because nobody knows they are coming to surrender.

The drones make it safer. A drone pilot can watch from a distance and make sure the soldiers are actually unarmed before letting them get close. This helps the Ukrainian soldiers know that the people coming toward them are not there to attack.

Experts say this shows that many Russian soldiers are tired of the war and want out. They are looking for the easiest and safest way to quit the fight. By following these machines, they are finding a path to safety that keeps them from getting caught in the middle of a battle.
