Getting ready to give up? Ukrainian officials fled Kharkiv due to the approaching front, the Kharkiv regional military government is carrying out an urgent evacuation of officials from Slatino, both the Ukrainian media and the Russian military Telegram channels report. From the village to Kharkov in a straight line - 25 km. "This is evidence that they do not believe they will win, that they will keep their places. And officials will have to answer for their behavior if the Russian military occupies these populated areas. I think there will be many local residents who will say how these Inhumans oppressed them. So this is an expected action from them," military analyst retired Colonel Viktor Litovkin told the AIF. Photography: istockphoto.
