"Khartiia" for Kharkiv, but Terekhov is against it? How city council is doing self-promotion and blocking placement of advertising for brigade holding front line "Khartiia" for Kharkiv, but Terekhov is against it? How city council is doing self-promotion and blocking placement of advertising for brigade holding front line In May 2024, Russia launched a new offensive in Kharkiv region. Since then, the 13th Khartiia Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine has taken up defensive positions north of Kharkiv, stopping the new offensive by the occupiers and pushing them back from the regional capital. Like other brigades, Khartiia is interested in placing advertisements in the city – primarily to support mobilization efforts and replenish its ranks. There are no problems with ad placement in any other city or town in Ukraine. However, in Kharkiv, the brigade that is holding the enemy back on a strategically important section of the front is not only being denied access to social (free) advertising, but advertising companies are also being pressured not to cooperate with the Khartiia charitable foundation on the sale of advertising space in the city. 13 684 10

Who will be held accountable if front falls in Oskil, Kupiansk and Borova? Who will be held accountable if front falls in Oskil, Kupiansk and Borova? The enemy is continuing its offensive in the Lyman direction, trying to seize the dominant heights near the village of Nove. Capturing this area will allow the enemy to cut off the logistics at our bridgehead beyond Oskil, and then they will not be able to hold, nor will they be able to hold Borova or Kupyansk. The enemy’s offensive cannot be stopped, although additional forces and equipment have been gradually deployed to the area. 9 577 26 Previously in trend: Fighting in Kharkiv direction
