Rewarding the soldiers of the country who invaded and caused inhumane destruction to your nation? Well, no matter how weird it may sound, that's what a recently passed law in Ukraine reportedly states amidst the war.?
The Ukrainian parliament, the Rada (The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine), has passed a law this month, offering rewards to Russian soldiers who surrender with their equipment.
In a statement written on its website, Bill 7229 which proposes that anyone who delivers Russian equipment to war-hit Ukraine receive generous payouts, has been passed as law.

First vice-speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Oleksandr Kornienko reportedly said: "For a helicopter - 500 thousand dollars, a tank - 100 thousand, respectively. If, for example, someone is ready to come to us with a plane - it's a million dollars. There is a certain gradation there. "
Kornienko further added that there are "many willing soldiers" who want to "replenish their financial status". "We do not see anything wrong here - if they surrender not just individually, but also with their equipment," the Ukrainian lawmaker added.
The bill reportedly includes $500,000 for a combat helicopter and $25,000-35,000 for a reactive volley fire system. Also, handing over an armoured personnel carrier includes a reward of $50,000 and military trucks have a reward of $10,000.
The legislation also includes $200,000 for military support ships and $50,000 for small combat reconnaissance ships. The legislation, named Bill No: 7229, aims to "establish a reward for the voluntary transfer of military equipment".
Besides money, the statement also says that anyone who gives up Russian equipment will get "secrecy, a safe stay in Ukraine and support in obtaining new documents and leaving for a third country.", as per a report in Business Insider.
