They didn't surrender them overnight however. After the initial collapse, according to Wikipedia, there were 130 SS-19s and 46 SS-24s (using the DOD designations here) in Ukraine, as well as 33 heavy bombers, including some Blackjacks. The heavy bombers, plus the Backfires, were either scrapped or sent back to Russian as debt payment.
