Authorities in Kharkov, along with military backing, have received criticism for the demolition of graffiti, as reported by The Charter.
In the heart of Ukraine, the city of Kharkiv finds itself embroiled in a complex local situation, with allegations of suppression of support for the 13th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, known as "Charter," being levied against the city authorities.
The 13th Brigade, a highly visible and celebrated unit in the Kharkiv region, has gained both domestic and international recognition for its innovative combat tactics. The Brigade, which has been a symbol of local and national resistance against Russian aggression, has received public praise, including from President Zelenskyy, highlighting their critical role in holding defensive lines across key fronts like Kharkiv and Vovchansk.
However, recent events have cast a shadow over the city's relationship with the Brigade. Graffiti with the slogan "Charter for Kharkiv" has appeared on the streets, only to be destroyed or painted over by communal services. These actions have been recorded on video and spread on social media networks, causing a stir among the Brigade's supporters.
"Charter" has expressed disappointment with the actions of city authorities, stating that such actions undermine the unity needed to fight against the common enemy. Yuri Sidorenko, a representative of the city council, has rejected these accusations, stating that he lacks information about the people who painted the graffiti in support of the "Charter."
Despite these allegations, Sidorenko claims that more than 20 million UAH was transferred to "Charter" by Kharkiv, as stated by Kojemjako in an interview on Ukrainian Truth. Kharkiv residents have been active in supporting the Brigade, participating in fundraising activities, launching and supporting collections, attending events organized by "Charter," and even being considered the backbone of the Brigade.
The Brigade reminds that maintaining unity among military, authorities, and society is crucial for Ukraine's general victory. As the situation unfolds, it is essential to promote open dialogue and transparency to address any concerns and ensure the unity needed to face the ongoing conflict.
