The Ukrainian parliament has passed a new law to reward people turning in Russian military equipment.
Anyone who hands in a Russian warship or a combat aircraft can receive up to $1 million.
The first vice-speaker has said the law is aimed at Putin's demoralized Russian troops.
The Ukrainian parliament - the Rada - has passed a law offering rewards to Russian soldiers who surrender with their equipment.
In a statement written on the Rada's website, Bill 7229 proposes that anyone who delivers Russian equipment to Ukraine receive generous payouts.
For example, the Rada states that anyone who gives the Ukrainian military a Russian warship or a combat aircraft (either a fighter or an assault aircraft) can receive up to a $1 million reward.
A military vehicle, such as a specialized truck, will receive a reward of up to $10,000.
