In a viral video on social media, a Russian soldier can be seen surrendering to Ukrainians in Novy Bug on Wednesday.

The soldier throws down his weapon and is offered pastries and drinks by the Ukrainians.

In the clip, a woman can be seen holding her phone for the soldier, who, as per a report, tearfully speaks with his mother.

When the soldier eats his pastry, a man, who is off screen, is heard speaking in Ukrainian language. “These young men, it’s not their fault. They don’t know why they are here. They are using old maps. They are lost,” he said.

The video was first shared by the Ukrainian Special Forces Command on social media. It has garnered immense popularity till now.

Video shared on Ukrainian channels of a captured Russian soldier apparently being fed by locals. The post says he burst into tears when he was allowed to video-call his mother. So many of these troops are just teenagers, with absolutely no clue what this war is really for. pic.twitter.com/oCPUC8cKcO
