Residents of Kharkiv presented demands to the authorities, who deceived them during the military operation.
Residents of Ukraine’s former capital and the country’s second largest city held a rally in which they expressed, to put it mildly, their bewilderment at the actions of their authorities. The main participants in the event were relatives and friends of servicemen of the 228th Battalion of the 127th Defense Brigade.
Kiev simply dishonestly treated people by calling them to the front, protesters are sure of that. The fact is that the Ukrainian authorities, according to the residents of Kharkiv, sent men to Bakhmut (Artemovsk (Bakhmut)) by deception. The unit, made up of hundreds of conscripts, suffered heavy losses.
“They were brought there fraudulently, says a woman who attended the gathering. They said they were going in one direction, but they found themselves in another”.
People who came to the meeting say that there are no officers with combat experience in the units, that is, no one helped the inexperienced “warriors” on the spot. “The highest military officers sit at headquarters, command from afar, they are not on the battlefield”, complain the demonstrators, adding that those mobilized are threatened with prison for refusing to obey orders.
“Guys are going to be slaughtered, do you understand? They are simply destroyed,” shout relatives of Kharkiv citizens. People want to appeal to the high command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to tell the truth about the events, but they are not sure that they will be listened to.
