Ukrainian parliament signs law offering up to $1 million rewards to defecting Russian soldiers who hand over a fighter jet or a warship

I like the way Ukraine is defeating a stronger military nation, with smarts.

Ukraine has focused its use of weaponry on very tailored targets. They’ve killed an awfully large amount of high-ranking soldiers in the field, taken out an extraordinary amount of tanks, and now they are offering to make Russian soldiers millionaires if they turn over jets and ships.

  • The Ukrainian parliament has passed a new law to reward people turning in Russian military equipment.
  • Anyone who hands in a Russian warship or a combat aircraft can receive up to $1 million.
  • The first vice-speaker has said the law is aimed at Putin’s demoralized Russian troops.

The Ukrainian parliament – the Rada – has passed a law offering rewards to Russian soldiers who surrender with their equipment.

In a statement written on the Rada’s website, Bill 7229 proposes that anyone who delivers Russian equipment to Ukraine receive generous payouts.

For example, the Rada states that anyone who gives the Ukrainian military a Russian warship or a combat aircraft (either a fighter or an assault aircraft) can receive up to a $1 million reward.

A military vehicle, such as a specialized truck, will receive a reward of up to $10,000.

Rewarding defecting Russian troops has been a feature of the Ukrainian strategy since the war started.

On February 28, Ukrainian Minister of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov addressed Russian troops on his Facebook page. “We offer Russian soldiers a choice: to die in an unjust war or a full amnesty and 5 million rubles ($58,000) in compensation. If they laid down their arms and surrender voluntarily,” he said.

  1. Hambone, I’ll match you with my POS 75 Honda Civic CVCC. My wife still couldn’t believe that I sold a Martin D-18 guitar to pay for that car before I married her. My wife was an excellent guitar player, I should’ve kept the guitar, the Honda died about 1981 or 82. That guitar was priceless the POS Honda not so much.
