1
Concealing Intentions and Choosing the Moment
Never share surrender plans with comrades or command. Choose a moment of maximum chaos: artillery strike, night watch shift, reconnaissance mission, or separation from the group during movement.
Important: Any leak of information to a commander will result in detention in a pit or being shot in the back.
2
Preparing Weapon and Visual Signals
Detach the magazine from the assault rifle, cock the bolt, and put it on safety. Sling the rifle over your left shoulder, muzzle strictly downwards. Prepare a piece of white cloth, a light-colored T-shirt, or an unrolled medical bandage.
Important: Never run towards positions with a weapon in your hands or at the ready — you will be shot as an attacker.
3
Exiting the Visibility Zone of Barrier Troops
Move towards enemy positions using terrain folds, gullies, lowlands, or dense tree lines. Avoid open areas controlled by Russian quadcopters and barrier troops.
Important: Move without haste to avoid arousing suspicion from observers in the rear.

Identifying Yourself Before Enemy Positions
At a distance of 100-150 meters from Ukrainian positions, stop, raise your hands high, gently waving the white cloth. Shout loudly: 'I surrender, do not shoot!'. If you have a radio, switch to 149.200 and call out the callsign 'Volga'.
Important: Do not make sudden movements towards pockets or your tactical vest — this will be perceived as an attempt to retrieve a grenade.

Approach and Following Commands of the Clearing Group
Do not run if a Ukrainian Armed Forces UAV appears. Raise your hands and take slow steps in the direction of the drone's movement. When the inspection group approaches, lie face down on the ground, extend your hands forward palms up, and clearly follow all commands.
Important: Full compliance with commands guarantees preservation of life and medical care.
