This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukrainian troops persuaded Russian soldiers to surrender by playing them a voice message with a drone, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The report, published on Tuesday, outlined in detail the fight for the frontline village of Andriivka in the eastern Donetsk region, which was recaptured by Ukrainian soldiers in September.
A battalion commander in the brigade with the call sign Slip told The Journal that he recorded an audio message and flew a drone carrying a speaker over to the house.
Shortly after the message was delivered, three Russian soldiers emerged from their hideout, walking with their hands up, The Journal reported.
Drone footage shared by the battalion last month showed the moment the mortar hit as the soldiers were moving through the remnants of destroyed buildings.
Afterwards, one Russian soldier appears lifeless on the ground, while two more are lying near him with their hands up in apparent submission.
