Zelensky urges Russian troops to surrender

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on Russian soldiers to surrender.

In his nightly TV address, he said Russian forces had suffered worse losses during their invasion of his country than in the Chechnya conflict.

He said they had already begun to understand that they would not achieve anything by war.

"I know that you want to survive," he said, adding that those who surrendered would be treated "as people, decently".

Mr Zelensky also paid tribute to Marina Ovsyannikova, the woman who interrupted Russian state TV news by holding up an anti-war sign.

He said he was "grateful to those Russians who do not stop trying to convey the truth" and who fought disinformation. _BBC
