Airdrop leaflets over Russian positions, offering food, shelter, and good treatment to all Russians who surrender. Its an age-old tactic, and a lot of Russians have already surrendered and received food, tea, and a phone call to their mothers.
Now that Putin is closing the borders to military-age men, Ukraine should step up their outreach efforts.

It is kindness and compassion, as much as courage and feats of arms, that win wars.
