This opinion was voiced by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexander Litvinenko in a comment to The Wall Street Journal. According to him, the Kremlin is set up for a long war, so it is likely to continue to destroy Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv. One of the tactics of Russians is that the Ukrainian city can turn into ruins, as the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Aleppo 8 years ago.
In 2016, the enemy's troops with the support of the Syrian government left the city without electricity and water, destroyed hospitals, schools and other civilian facilities. As a result of the Aleppo population, it decreased to one third of what was in the pre -war period. The same Kremlin will try to introduce in Kharkiv. "They just kicked people. It's what they want to practice in Kharkiv," Alexander Litvinenko said.
By the way, on April 17, Mayor of Kharkiv Igor Terekhov stated that the city could become "second Aleppo" if Western help ceases to come. In this regard, he called on the Western countries to focus on full -scale fighting in Ukraine, which lasted for more than two years, and emphasized the criticality of US assistance in the amount of $ 60 billion.
