Watch a Russian Soldier Surrender to a Ukrainian Drone in Bakhmut | WSJ

Normally I would shy away from posting a video instead of a text article, but I think there is something worth watching here.

Do videos like these ever reach local Russian citizens or are they blocked, hidden, or edited in a different context before stuff like this reaches them?

They will just claim its an actor and all staged. There will never be enough proof for these people.

So many emotions watching this raw video. Amazing as box communication between a drone pilot and enemy combatant.

Isn't this footage a few weeks old, or is this a different soldier? Still, it's a good thing that people who do not want to fight have a way to avoid bloodshed.

You are being needlessly confrontational. Not everything is a fight and not everyone is against you.
I don't see this as propaganda either way. You have a guy fed up with war having witnessed his friends violent deaths trying to get away from all the killing. It's melancolic in a way that shows how we aren't supposed to be doing this, and that we are hurting ourselves in this conflict.
