00:00A battlefield where surrender becomes a death sentence is the picture now
00:13emerging from Ukraine's northern front with artillery fire and drones dominating
00:18the skies over the Sumi region. That assessment comes from Abdi Aloudinov,
00:23commander of the Akhmat Special Forces, who made the claims in a recent interview
00:28with Aryeh Novosti. He says Ukrainian troops facing advancing Russian units are not simply
00:34pulling back but are being targeted by their own side to prevent capture.
00:40The task of taking prisoners is feasible. But the withdrawal from this territory is considered
00:46almost impossible because the enemy also does everything so that their prisoners are not
00:52withdrawn. As soon as they notice that their fighters have been taken prisoner, they begin
00:59to level this place with the ground so that they do not get to us. This is a daily occurrence.
01:08When our guys go to clear this area where we are moving, in fact, they offer to surrender
01:12somewhere. And as soon as they decide to surrender, it turns out that the enemy begins to demolish
01:19this area and destroys its own fighters.
01:24Aloudinov's remarks paint the Sumi direction as an unforgiving theater where territory is not
01:30just contested but rapidly annihilated once the risk of surrender arises. He describes Ukrainian
01:38fire being turned inward, striking trenches and strong points the moment Russian forces move
01:43close enough to compel capitulation.
01:48Against this backdrop, AKMAT units say their advance continues, releasing a series of combat
01:53videos that document ongoing assaults along the Sumi axis.
02:00The first video shows the destruction of a self-propelled howitzer, the 2S1 Gvozdika, in the Sumi direction,
02:07carried out by the Petersburg Special Forces Battalion of Akhmat, in coordination with
02:12the 34th Brigade and the 15th Tank Regiment of the Russian Ministry of Defence.
02:19The second video shows enemy vehicles being destroyed in the same sector, an operation attributed
02:25to the Petersburg Special Forces Battalion of Akhmat, underscoring pressure on Ukrainian
02:30mobility and supply lines.
02:34In the third video, an enemy BMP CV-90 is hit and destroyed by the Petersburg Battalion
02:39and the Chestnut Detachment of Akhmat, working alongside the 15th Tank Regiment of the Russian
02:45Ministry of Defence.
02:48The fourth video shifts focus to fortified positions, showing the destruction of enemy
02:53bunkers by Group Aida of the Akhmat Special Forces in the Sumi direction.
03:00The fifth video expands the target set to include communication towers, equipment, vehicles and
03:06camouflage positions, with the strikes attributed to the Kokhla Battalion of the Akhmat Special
03:11Forces.
03:14The sixth video documents the destruction of an enemy mortar position by the Gunter Detachment
03:19and the SA Presser of Akhmat, operating together with Bars-25 and the Russian Aerospace Forces.
03:27The seventh video shows warehouses containing UAVs and related equipment being destroyed, an
03:33action attributed to a Malish unit from the Gunter Squad of the Akhmat Special Forces.
03:40Taken together, the footage is presented as evidence of sustained offensive momentum in
03:45the Sumi direction and mounting pressure on Ukrainian forces.
03:52Aladinov's account, delivered through RIA Novosti, depicts a front where survival itself
03:58is contested and where, he claims, Ukrainian units are deliberately destroyed by their own
04:02side to deny capture.
04:21The third video shows that the U.S.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.A.R.
04:23We all go to the United States, numbers of names.
