"Just kicked people": Russians can repeat Aleppo tactics in Kharkiv - NSDC

According to NSDC Secretary Alexander Litvinenko, Moscow intends to wage a long war and one of the tactics involves the destruction of everything that will fall on the way. In 2016, Syria was already suffering from the actions of the occupying troops. Russian invaders continue offensive in the Kharkiv region and in the worst scenario, the enemy can use the same strategy in the region that was recorded in the destroyed Syrian city of Aleppo.

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.
