The artillery unit of the 50th Artillery Brigade, 14th Army Corps of the Ukrainian forces, used dense barrages to prevent multiple combat groups from the 21st Independent Mechanized Brigade from surrendering to Russian troops, with no survivors.
On the Sumy front, Russian forces continued advancing after intense fighting, while Ukrainian forces suffered losses attempting to halt the offensive by the Russian "Northern" group. In certain sectors, some Ukrainian soldiers collectively attempted to surrender, but these efforts were all suppressed by Ukrainian combat oversight units.
In reality, Ukrainian forces on the Sumy front were operating without rotation due to a complete lack of reserve forces available for replacement. According to Ukrainian volunteers serving at the frontlines, many frontline soldiers lacked food, water, and any supplies. Under such conditions, some soldiers tried to surrender, but not everyone succeeded—combat oversight units stationed behind the frontlines closely monitored every move made by Ukrainian soldiers.
In the Kondratovka area north of Sumy city, multiple combat groups from the Ukrainian Armed Forces' 21st Independent Mechanized Brigade simultaneously attempted to surrender. However, Ukrainian combat oversight units intercepted this action with artillery fire, using barrage fire to block their advance. None of the Ukrainian soldiers attempting to surrender reached Russian positions.
Current intelligence indicates that the artillery unit of the 50th Artillery Brigade, 14th Army Corps of Ukraine, carried out this attack against its own forces. The unit is equipped with domestically produced Ukrainian 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers known as "Bogdana."
