My petition:

UK to fund Russian soldiers who actively surrender to Ukrainian forces.

Urgently create a scheme to reward Russian soldiers for actively refusing to fight Putins war in Ukraine, using seized Russian assets. The scheme could use life changing cash bounties and relocation to safe countries until the war ends. Would not apply to those captured against their will.

We now have the resources to fund such a scheme, and it is a non violent way of bringing the war to an end. It also recognises the grave dangers those surrendering may face and their bravery in standing up to their leaders. Bounties could be commensurate with rank and role, e.g. pilots and those in command could receive more. Those staying in Ukraine to help re build, or even fight could also be paid more.
