Servicemen of the 71st Separate Airmobile Brigade of Ukraine's Air Assault Forces prepared a batch of leaflets for Russian troops ahead of Constitution Day, urging them to lay down their weapons.
Brigade's psychological support unit and the military safety group produced the leaflets.
The message includes a step-by-step guide for Russian soldiers who want to save their lives.
It emphasizes that Ukraine will "burn anyone who comes with weapons," but guarantees safety for those who lay down their arms and surrender.

"Respect for the Constitution of Ukraine and its sovereign borders is something the occupiers will inevitably have to learn," the brigade said in its statement.
The leaflets were distributed using drones, with hundreds of copies dropped directly onto enemy positions.
Ukraine has been running the state project I Want to Live since 2022, created by the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
Through the initiative, Russian servicemen can voluntarily surrender, while their relatives can receive information about the fate of their loved ones.
