Like 40 guys have surrendered. Not meaningful. It seems unlikely that they can hold any of this territory. They have no supply lines.

  It's quite a bit more than that. I've seen reports of 40-50 surrendering in just one location alone - smaller numbers in multiple reports from other locations.

    I find that tricky to believe. This is a fast operation that is probably quite a bit smaller than the Russians are claiming (they claim 1000 guys). I don’t think Ukraine is going to have the manpower to collect a significant number of prisoners even if they are surrendering.

What the long term goal is, who knows.

        The numbers I’m seeing now are about 300 prisoners, which seems believable now that Ukraine seems to be doing a ridiculous number of soldiers into Russia
