1/ Russia is reportedly sustaining exceptionally high casualties in its offensive against the Sumy region of Ukraine. A warblogger says that the battlefield is strewn with Russian bodies. Those who survive are reportedly treated as deserters and told they should have died. ⬇️

2/ 'Belarusian Silovik' writes: "Today I watched several videos filmed by our group, which was semi-encircled in the area of ​​Oleksiivka-Andiivka in the Sumy direction. What meat there is. All the forest plantations are [covered] in bodies."

3/ A soldier with the 40th Separate Guards Marine Brigade (military unit 10103) says that commanders are sending men into suicidal assaults, resulting in casualties as high as 92%, treat those who survive as deserters, and tell them they should have died.

4/ The man, who uses the call sign 'Rayleigh', says that only eight out of a hundred men in a company from his brigade survived an assault on the village of Kondrativka. The handful of survivors were treated as deserters by the commander, 'Hornet'.

5/ "Because they survived, the commander told them: you are 500s [deserters] and you were hiding, fuck, we don't give a damn whether you raised the flag or not, you should all die, none of you should have survived!"

6/ Rayleigh is understandably angry: “I think such commanders should not live at all, yes, but this is my personal opinion, fuck. Such bastards should be sent, fuck, to the front or immediately zeroed out [executed]..."

7/ "Now they are being told that they are 500s, why the fuck did they even survive, that they should have all died like dogs. This is what the commander “Hornet” says."

8/ According to the soldier, the men have gone "without food, without water for a week, and the command said, you won't get any shit, they didn't even send water by airdrops. Now they are sending them back to the assault and yelling: you're all going to die anyway."

9/ Some soldiers are clearly unwilling to do so. Mass surrenders have been reported, including this instance of twelve Russians surrendering to a Ukrainian drone.

10/ Rayleigh appeals to the military authorities to intervene and punish Hornet. There is little chance that this will happen. /end
