Commentary by Russian military blogger Boris Rozhin
This sounds like the information came from one of the frontline Russian militiamen, instead of the Russian ministry of defense, which claims the information. So far, the Ukrainian side has yet to comment on the incident.
[ColonelCassad] Shooting near Novomikhailovka
More than 30 servicemen of the 25th battalion of the 54th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to lay down their arms and surrender after conducting fire preparations for the offensive of the Russian troops;
The Ukrainian servicemen, who occupied a stronghold in the area of ​​the Animal Farm, appealed by radio to the command of the Russian unit to cease fire and provide an exit corridor;
At about 10 p.m., servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with white flags began to advance towards the Russian positions.
At that moment, a detachment of Ukrainian nationalists, who arrived at the strong point on armored vehicles, opened crossfire at the servicemen of the 54th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the back.
As a result of this execution, 32 Ukrainian servicemen were fatally wounded and killed.
Against the backdrop of growing military failures and the demoralization of the Ukrainian troops, the Kyiv nationalist regime is trying to stop the retreat and surrender of its units by punitive actions of detachments. The lives of Ukrainian servicemen and mobilized fighters of territorial defense units mean nothing to the current leadership of Ukraine. (c) RF Ministry of Defense
The case when a quasi-role-playing game of Nazism led to role-playing games in detachments as in the worst domestic and foreign films on this topic.
PS. Plus a video https://t.me/boris_rozhin/53617 with a soldier who surrendered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who tells how those who surrendered were shot in the back by the mobilized.
Extraction from Severodonetsk
[ColonelCassad] Urgent statement of the Head of the Interdepartmental Coordination Headquarters of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine - Head of the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev:
The Ukrainian side requested the organization of a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of civilians (women, children and the elderly) who are at the Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk, to the territory controlled by Kiev in the city of Lisichansk.
Taking into account the fact that on June 13, 2022, by order of the Kyiv authorities, in order to prevent the retreat of territorial defense units, the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine blew up the last bridge across the Seversky Donets River in the direction of Lysychansk, it is not possible to carry out a safe evacuation in this direction.
The militants of the nationalist battalions, retreating from the residential areas of Severodonetsk, deliberately brought hundreds of civilians out of the city to the industrial zone of the Azot chemical plant in order to hide behind them as a "human shield".
Realizing the hopelessness of the situation of our armed formations, we regard the appeal of the Ukrainian side for the alleged rescue of civilians as an attempt to withdraw the surviving units from the encirclement. Thus, there are all signs of a repetition of the "Mariupol scenario".
Guided by humane principles, the Armed Forces of Russia and the formations of the Luhansk People's Republic are ready to carry out a humanitarian operation to evacuate civilians.
To do this, from 08:00 (Moscow time) to 20:00 (Moscow time) on June 15, 2022, a humanitarian corridor will open in a northern direction (to the city of Svatovo, Luhansk People's Republic).
At the same time, the safe evacuation of all, without exception, civilians and their movement as part of humanitarian convoys to temporary accommodation centers is guaranteed.
We offer militants of nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries who are at the Azot plant from 08:00 (Moscow time) June 15, 2022 to stop any hostilities and release the civilians they are holding through this humanitarian corridor, as well as to stop senseless resistance and lay down their arms.
The Russian Federation guarantees the preservation of life and compliance with all the norms of the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war, as happened with those who had previously surrendered in Mariupol.
The actual readiness of the Ukrainian side to start a humanitarian operation is indicated by the raising of white flags.
Once again, we call on the official authorities of Kyiv to show prudence, to give appropriate instructions to the militants to stop the senseless resistance and leave the territory of the Azot plant.
Through operational communication channels, this statement is immediately communicated to the Ukrainian side through I.A. Vereshchuk, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Ukraine.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
Somewhere I have seen this recently.
Ah yes, in Mariupol. Then it was called extraction. The fact that requests for humanitarian corridors and the like were sent transparently hints that the northern fur-bearing animal
(heh)
will soon come to the remnants of the AFU grouping in Severodonetsk.
PS. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR, the industrial zone of the Azot plant is defended by a group of 2,500 people, of which up to a quarter are foreign mercenaries.
Full-fledged supply of the defenders was disrupted due to the destruction of bridges and the possibility of artillery of the RF Armed Forces to fire at the approaches to Severodonetsk from Lysichansk.
