THIS is the moment Ukrainian drones ordered Russian soldiers to lay down their weapons and surrender as Zelensky’s troops stormed Kursk.
The drones were reportedly equipped with loudspeakers that instructed Putin’s men to give up and save their lives.

Footage shared on X (formerly Twitter) shows a Ukrainian soldier sending the drone into the sky.
It then sends the following message: “Russian soldier, surrender. Your command is hiding the truth about your losses.”
“Save your life. We guarantee good treatment.”
The video, which was not shot in Kursk, then shows a Russian soldier coming out of a destroyed building with his arms raised and then placing his rifle on the ground.
With his Russian ID in hand, the man says into the camera: “I heard a Ukrainian ‘bird’ offering his surrender.”
“They guaranteed life and good treatment.”
The soldier continued: “I made the right decision and surrendered. I am against the war. I did not want to end up here.”
“Our commanders treat us like butchers and send us to the slaughter.
“I don’t want this war. I want to live in a peaceful country. That’s why I surrendered.”

This came after Russian civilians in Belgorod were told to seek shelter in their basements following the triumphant invasion of Ukraine.
About 121,000 people fled Kursk when the governor, who is allied with Vladimir Putin, admitted that Kiev forces now control 28 cities in the border region.
As Ukraine expands its impressive invasion into a second region, Belgorod, citizens there are also being advised to evacuate.
Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote in a Telegram message on Monday: “There is a MISSILE DANGER throughout the entire Belgorod region.”
“Go to the basement. Stay there until you receive the signal ‘All clear: missile danger.'”
According to Russian broadcaster TASS, about 11,000 residents left their homes in the Krasnoyaruzhsky district of Belgorod.
Only 500 residents remain, according to local administrator Andrey Miskov, and footage shows them being led into evacuation buses by the military.
The footage showed huge coaches lined up in a row, prepared to transport passengers to makeshift accommodation.
According to Russian authorities, the reason for the evacuation was the “active” presence of the Ukrainian army in the region.
On Monday morning, Ukrainian forces also launched a tank offensive against the Kolotilovka district of Belgorod, which is located about 38 kilometers south of Sudzha in the Kursk region.
A probably humiliated Vladimir Putin said today that his forces must “expel” Ukrainian troops from the border regions.
Why did Ukraine occupy Kursk?

To counter Kiev’s impressive advance, security measures were tightened in Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod.
The governor of Kursk, Alexei Smirnov, was forced this afternoon to inform the Russian tyrant that Ukraine now controls 28 villages in the region.
A Telegram channel of a Ukrainian military analyst later claimed that 44 people had been captured.
He said the invasion had now advanced 12 kilometers and passed along 40 kilometers of front lines in Kursk.
Smirnov also said the number of civilians killed was 12 and 121 injured.
He claimed that Ukrainian forces used chemical weapons during their invasion, but could not provide any evidence.
At a crucial meeting with senior security and defense officials, Putin insisted that the Kursk invasion was a failed attempt by Kyiv to destabilize Russia.
But despite his claims, up to 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers, supported by tanks and aircraft, have now managed to advance almost 32 kilometers into Russia.
Ukrainian soldiers are even digging trenches along the new front line, apparently cementing their plans for a long-term occupation.
To suppress Ukraine, Russian forces have hastily deployed reserve troops, tanks, aircraft, artillery and drones into the border areas.
But despite their desperate efforts, they admitted on Sunday that Ukraine had advanced up to 30 kilometers in some areas, reaching the villages of Tolpino and Obshchy Kolodez.
