Can someone explain how a Russian helicopter can land in UA airfield without being shot down/at? It's not like you can wave a white flag up there

The pilot made Ukrainian special services aware of his intend to surrender. There was a corridor organized for him.
I have read in another article that the pilot was somehow shot and injured in the process, it's unclear why.
