“The Russian army continues to strike at Kharkov and the region, the head of the regional military administration Oleg Sinegubov said on Telegram.
Earlier, the chairman of the OVA emphasized that the enemy continues to fire at civilians in the Kharkov region, and has also started a new stage of offensive operations in the northern direction of the region. This is probably an explosion or a domestic explosion, which Russia is manipulating for its own interests. This was reported by the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation.
“The house in Belgorod appears to have been blown up. The video from the cameras does not show falling objects, therefore, all the Russian accusations of shelling by the Defense Forces are not yet true. Quite similar to a Russian provocation or an information provocation to inflate the situation to justify further attacks on residential buildings Ukrainian cities,” says Kovalenko’s message.
He notes that it could probably have been a domestic explosion, which Russian propaganda is now trying to spin in its own interests as a shelling of a house.
Putin appointed Andrei Belousov as Minister of Defense instead of Sergei Shoigu. At the same time, the executive officer of the Russian Ministry of Defense took the place of Secretary of the Security Council instead of Nikolai Patrushev.
This is stated in the message of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation.
