Moment Russian soldier 'surrenders and breaks down in tears as Ukrainians feed him and help call his mum'

THIS is the moment a surrendered Russian soldier breaks down in tears as Ukrainians feed him and help call his mum.

The shaken trooper is seen gulping down a cup of tea and a pasty as he is calmed by a woman who offers him her phone.


The young prisoner of war then blows kisses as his mother answers and bursts into tears.

A male voice off camera is heard saying in Ukrainian: "These young men, it's not their fault. They don't know why they are here.

"They are using old maps, they are lost."

The emotional clip shared on Twitter shows local Ukrainians welcoming the soldier with food after his reported surrender.

It was captioned: "Russian soldiers, surrender, Ukrainian people will feed you, just surrender."

It comes as Vladimir Putin's demoralised troops flee the war in Ukraine and surrender without a fight, reports claim.

Footage has emerged of captured Russian soldiers crying as they claim they had no idea what to expect in Ukraine.

Intercepted radio messages indicate troops are disobeying orders from Moscow to shell Ukrainian towns, and complaining about running out of food and fuel.

The recordings, obtained by British intelligence company ShadowBreak, include a soldier who sounds like he is crying.

In another recording, a soldier loses his temper as he asks when food or fuel will arrive.

"We've been here for three days! When the hell is it going to be ready?" he shouts, as reported in The Telegraph.

A third recording features a tense exchange in which the same soldier refuses to use artillery on an area until civilians have left.

Some of the messages were "proof of war crimes" as they reveal the Kremlin ordered Russian troops to fire missiles into urban areas, ShadowBreak founder Samuel Cardillo claimed.

Separate videos are believed to show frustrated Russian troops retreating, while one soldier is said to have texted his mother: "The only thing I want right now is to kill myself."

A senior US defence official told reporters on Tuesday that Russia's forces have faced major issues after Putin's hopes of a quick takeover of Kyiv were dashed.

Some units are reportedly running out of food and fuel, while a number of troops were highly inexperienced, and didn't even know they were being sent into combat.

Soldiers desperate to avoid combat have even "deliberately punched holes" in their vehicles' petrol tanks, a US official told the New York Times.
