The son of former Kharkiv mayor Hennadiy Kernes may be playing into the hands of the enemy

Son of former Kharkiv mayor Hennadiy Kernes Kyrylo, who has not appeared in public for a long time because he fled to Germany, has made his statements about his father's death and the events of three years ago in Kharkiv, can play into the into the enemy's hands and undermine the situation in the region.

As it became known earlier, Kyrylo Kernes may be used pro-Russian politician Yevhen Muraiev, whom Russia allegedly planned to to be appointed "governor of Ukraine" when it "takes Kyiv in three days." Muraev himself, according to UNN's interlocutors , promised the position of "governor of Kharkiv" to Kirill Kernes. The pro-Russian forces could have chosen him for this position because of his well-known Kharkiv residents because of his name.

Muraiev himself, unlike Kyrylo Kernes, has a long political career, but has not gained wide political support either. political support. He started his career in Kharkiv region in local government in 2006, and soon joined the Party of Regions. It was from this political party Muraiev was elected to the Verkhovna Rada in 2012.

In 2018, Yevhen Muraiev founded his own party, Nashi (now banned in Ukraine), and in 2019 he even even ran for president in 2019. However, his "big voyage" failed, and due to his low rating, he withdrew his candidacy in favor of another ex-regionalist, Oleksandr Vilkul. Then Muraiev, together with Vilkul, tried to enter parliament from the "Opposition Bloc" party, but failed - only 3% of voters only 3% of voters. After that, Muraiev could be seen only on the air of his own news channel, where he criticized the Ukrainian government.

So, it is possible that Muraiev, after almost 20 years of being an outsider in the political field of Ukraine, he still believes that he will become at least a "gauleiter." After all to return to Ukrainian politics on his own, because of the accusations of treason treason charges, it will be extremely difficult for him to return to Ukrainian politics on his own. And Kyrylo Kernes, who has not been involved in in high-profile political scandals and has such a well-known name, can be a good "tool" for Muraiev's attempts to realize his ambitions.

Recently, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin recently statedthat Russia is not abandoning its the goals of the war in Ukraine. In addition, a German military analyst reported that Russia plans to capture most of Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovs'k and Kharkiv regions, including their regional centers, by 2016.

It is possible that Yevhen Muraiev and Kyrylo Kernes, who have been living abroad for almost two years, could have been inspired by the of the Russian dictator and still hope to get positions as "gauleiter".

However, Kharkiv residents have long since proven that they do not expect the "Russian world" in their city. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Kharkiv region has the most powerful line of defense defense line.

Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov in turn, said in an interview that Kharkiv will continue to defend and will never surrender.

"As for the threat to Kharkiv... I can't say what the Russians have in mind, and no one can say. Russians have in mind, and no one can say. And it's not important what their plans are, the main thing is what our plans are. We will never surrender Kharkiv. This is all nonsense. Kharkiv is has always been, is and will always be a Ukrainian and European city. This is the main thing. We have have defended Kharkiv and will continue to do so," the mayor said.

The experts interviewed by UNN also do not believe in the possibility of capturing Kharkiv. experts, including the former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Mykola Malomuzh believes that the capture of Kharkiv by the enemy is unrealistic, because in order to launch a a strategic offensive on the city and conduct it successfully, it is necessary to generate half a million more people, because we need to hold the entire eastern southern front.

"It is clear that a number of forces are focused on unbalancing the situation in Ukraine and, in particular, in Kharkiv. are now using their reserves. There are no political reasons, there is practically no opposition. There is practically no opposition, today everyone is focused on the main enemy - Russia, and today everyone - both Kharkiv residents and the region are focused on a powerful response to the aggressor. It is not for nothing that Kharkiv, like Kyiv and other cities, and showed that it can withstand," he said in an exclusive commentary to UNN.

In his opinion, pro-Russian and Russian forces may be working on different models, where contradictions can be created. contradictions can be created.

"That is, there are attempts because directly campaigning for the Russian Federation is destructive, but looking for such reasons to to create some confusion, to deprive the position of unity, this is what they are trying to do. But this is all to the detriment of the state," Malomuzh added. Malomuzh.

Recall

Earlier, political expert Ihor Reiterovych in his commentary to UNN emphasized that Russia does not abandoned its intentions to capture Kharkiv and the entire Kharkiv region, although they do not have sufficient resources to today they do not have sufficient resources to do so. However, the Kremlin is already is already conducting information attacks to destabilize the situation in the city. In particular, to to undermine the situation in Kharkiv, the aggressor country can use people who are abroad, but not in Russia.

According to him, for example, Russia can use civic activists who have traveled abroad and criticize local authorities from there including local authorities. In his opinion, the story of Kyrylo Kernes, the son of of the former mayor of Kharkiv, Hennadiy Kernes, who only three years later appeared in the media field only three years later.

Also, political analyst Oleksandr Kochetkov said that the statements of by Kyrylo Kernes can be a vivid example of Russian IPSO.
