The article sparked concern and speculation among the local population and government officials. In response, the Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleg Sinegubov, addressed the issue and provided his comments.
According to the Meduza report, sources close to the Kremlin revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been discussing a plan to annex Kharkiv and bring an end to the war in Ukraine. The plan allegedly involves a staged takeover of the city, with Russian troops disguised as local separatist forces.

He also emphasized that the security situation in the region is stable and there is no indication of any imminent threat from Russia.
Sinegubov also pointed out that the article published by Meduza is not the first instance of false information being spread about Ukraine. He believes that such reports are part of a propaganda campaign aimed at destabilizing the country and creating fear among its citizens. He urged the public to be cautious and not to believe everything they read, especially when it comes from sources known for their biased and unreliable reporting.
The Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration also addressed the issue of ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. He stated that despite the challenges and losses, Ukraine has made significant progress in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity. He expressed confidence that with the support of the international community, Ukraine will continue to resist any attempts at aggression and will eventually restore peace in the region.
Sinegubov’s comments were echoed by other government officials and local leaders, who also dismissed the claims made by Meduza. They emphasized that the Ukrainian government is fully committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict and has been actively engaging in diplomatic efforts to achieve this goal. They also called on the international community to remain vigilant and united in supporting Ukraine in its efforts to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The article published by Meduza has caused widespread concern and speculation in Kharkiv and beyond. However, the comments made by the Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration and other officials have provided reassurance and confidence in the strength and resilience of Ukraine. The country remains vigilant and determined to defend its borders and protect its citizens, while also working towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
In conclusion, the claims made by Meduza regarding the Kremlin’s plans to take over Kharkiv have been dismissed by Ukrainian officials.
