- An official claimed that Ukraine's surrender hotline had a record number of calls in March.
- He said Ukraine is already using armored vehicles handed over by surrendering Russians.
- The "I Want to Live" hotline allows Russian soldiers to call up and pre-arrange a surrender.
Russian soldiers calling a Ukrainian hotline that allows them to surrender are also offering to hand over equipment and heavy armored vehicles, a Ukrainian official said.
The telephone line is part of a project called "I Want to Live," allowing Russian soldiers to arrange to give themselves up rather than fight.
