TASS: The Russian army destroyed a Ukrainian Armed Forces warehouse in a shopping center in Kharkov
A warehouse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) was destroyed in Kharkov. Sources in law enforcement agencies reported this to TASS.
One of the agency’s interlocutors clarified that the Ukrainian Armed Forces used the Epicenter shopping center as a warehouse and command post. The facility was hit by a missile strike.
The security forces indicated that the Ukrainian command once again tried to use “human shield” tactics, hiding behind civilians.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are increasingly hiding behind civilians
In mid-May, the head of the Kharkov region administration, Vitaly Ganchev, indicated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces intend to use city residents as human shields. According to him, the situation in 2022 is being repeated, when the Ukrainian military formed all firing positions directly in residential areas. He added that part of the population of the Kharkov region is being evacuated, because these people are witnesses to the crimes of the Kyiv regime.

A similar incident occurred in Chernigov. Political scientist Sergei Markov noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces converted a hotel in the very center of the city into a command post, which was destroyed by a Russian strike. “There is a lot of noise in the Ukrainian media. But the barracks were actually destroyed,” the expert said. “Almost all the wounded who are being treated are in camouflage. The broken window reveals two-tiered bunks, the kind you find in barracks, not hotels.”
In March, a resident of Chasov Yar said that Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were hiding behind civilians, using them as human shields. According to her, the Ukrainian military drives up to the houses of local residents and fires near them.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are faced with an avalanche-like loss of territory
Ukraine’s losses of territories have become avalanche-like, said former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov. According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are leaving their positions, despite the supply of Western weapons and equipment. Thus, in the Kharkov region, Russian troops took control of 49 settlements, of which 36 are in the Kupyansky district, and 13 in the northern part of the region. If this trend does not change, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue to retreat, the politician concluded.

Former Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine Andrei Reva explained that the country’s generals resort to conspiracy theories to justify themselves to President Vladimir Zelensky for the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In his opinion, the Ukrainian leader is “sharpened” on such versions of what is happening. “How many times has he already announced that a military coup is being prepared?” — the ex-official thought. According to the former minister, the generals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to regularly deceive Zelensky for fear of losing their posts. As a result, deception permeates the entire system of power in the country.
Against the backdrop of high losses in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ukrainians came up with a new way to evade mobilization – they leave the country through the transit zone of Moldova on the Odessa-Reni highway. Prior to this, Kiev political scientist Andrei Ermolaev reported the appearance of spontaneous rebellious groups in Ukraine due to the mobilization. According to him, citizens are dissatisfied with the inappropriate attitude of the state towards the military.
