According to Brigitte Brink, the ambassador of the United States of America to Ukraine, the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is trying in every way to sow panic in Kharkiv.
Why Russia increased the terror of Kharkiv and the region
The American diplomat was one of the first to react to Russia's new shelling of the Kharkiv region.
She shared her thoughts on this matter on Twitter (X).
Bridget Brink drew attention to the fact that Kupyansk came under enemy attack: the Russians hit a residential building and killed an 85-year-old woman.
The ambassador is convinced that Putin is simply trying to sow panic in Kharkiv and the region in various ways.
For the second night in a row, Russia is shelling peaceful areas of Kharkiv Oblast in order to sow panic, the ambassador wrote, expressing condolences to the relatives of all those killed "in this fearless region."

Synegubov claims that there is a lack of capacity, but, according to him, there is no threat of a large-scale blackout in the city.
We are considering the possibility of forced evacuation from the northern part of Kharkiv region. "We are talking about those settlements that are constantly under enemy fire," he warned.
