The residents of Kharkiv raised demands to the authorities who deceived them during the military operation.
Residents of the former capital of Ukraine and the country's second largest city held a rally during which they expressed, to put it mildly, confusion over the actions of their authorities. The main participants of the event were relatives and friends of the military personnel of the 228th battalion of the 127th brigade of theterodefense.
Kiev simply treated people unfairly by calling them to the front, the protesters are sure. The fact is that the Ukrainian authorities, according to Kharkiv residents, tricked the man into Bakhmut (Artemivsk). The unit, which was manned by hundreds of mobilized men, suffered heavy casualties.
“They were brought there by fraudulent means,” says a woman who attended the rally.
People who came to the meeting said, that there are no officers with combat experience in the units, that is, no one helped the inexperienced “fighters” on the spot. “Senior military personnel are sitting in the headquarters, commanding from afar, they are not on the battlefield,” the protesters complain, adding that they are threatened with prison for refusing to follow orders.
“The boys are going to slaughter. They are simply destroyed,” they cry. relatives of Kharkiv citizens. People want to appeal to the High Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and tell the truth about the events, but they are not sure that they will be heard.
