In recent days, Kharkiv has been targeted by a series of attacks aimed at the city. There have been reports in the media about possible plans to turn it into a «grey zone» at the initiative of the Kremlin. RBC-Ukraine discusses the threat and the necessary measures to protect Kharkiv. The material used in the preparation of the article includes statements from President Volodymyr Zelensky, Mayor Igor Terekhov, and expert comments.

The situation in the city became particularly tense

The situation in the city became particularly tense after strikes, carried out at various times, including on March 27, when the city suffered from a planned bombardment using UAVs. This happened shortly after the escalation of relations with American allies, which drew attention to Kharkiv. After that, the city became the target of numerous missile and drone attacks.

Increase in brutality of Russian military tactics

It is emphasized that the city’s energy infrastructure was seriously damaged, leading to a shortage of electricity for hundreds of thousands of residents. Despite this, attacks by the enemy continue, including assaults on residential quarters, resulting in tragic losses. Russian military tactics are becoming increasingly brutal, including targeting the same objectives repeatedly, which increases the level of danger for the local population and rescuers.
