Hundreds of Russian soldiers already surrender, all to be treated humanely
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the Ukrainian soldiers who are replenishing the exchange fund as a result of advancing into the territory of the Russian Federation.
"Hundreds of Russian soldiers have already surrendered, and all of them will receive humane treatment - they did not have such treatment even in their own, Russian army," he said in an evening address on Wednesday.
Zelenskyy recalled that according to the report of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky, Ukrainian forces control 74 settlements in Kursk region. "Again, I am grateful to all our guys who are replenishing the exchange fund - this is very important for our state," he said.
The President also noted that he had separately discussed with Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, representatives of the Verkhovna Rada and the Office, "so that for our soldiers - for all defenders, both male and female, carrying out combat missions on the territory of the aggressor state - all payments, bonuses and other things provided for the front are guaranteed and quickly provided. And without any bureaucracy for our soldiers. This is a common and obligatory policy."
