The Main Directorate of Intelligence emphasizes that Ukraine is taking control of Kherson as the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are entering the city.

Every Russian service member who resists will be eliminated. You have the only chance to avoid death: to surrender immediately," the Main Directorate of Intelligence stressed.

In case of voluntary surrender, Ukraine guarantees Russian service members life and safety.

"We adhere to the Geneva Conventions, we guarantee prisoners of war food, medical care, and the possibility of your exchange for service members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine held captive in the Russian Federation," the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated.
