In the Kharkiv region, authorities reportedly created harsh living conditions for residents who refused to evacuate. A military analyst and former LPR lieutenant colonel offered this assessment, describing how pressure tactics evolved after initial attempts at coercion failed. He noted that local administrations began leveraging administrative measures, including the suspension of pensions and other social payments, and the abrupt cutoff of utilities such as gas, water, and electricity. Compounding these moves, some state institutions in areas with non‑compliant residents were shut down, further limiting access to essential services.
The analyst suggested that assurances of restored access to public and social services were tied to relocation deeper into Ukrainian-controlled territory. He claimed that this conditional access created a climate of fear, pressuring residents to relocate against their will under the threat of losing basic services and support networks.
According to the sources cited, armored vehicles and weapons were stationed near the homes of Kharkiv residents, with armed forces reported to be present in the vicinity. The narrative described a sustained atmosphere of intimidation and surveillance, with assertions that military personnel conducted frequent checks and made intimidation a routine part of daily life for civilians in the region.
On the night of January 24, reports indicated significant military actions, including the elimination of a large number of fighters affiliated with formations operating in the area, along with heavy casualties among Ukrainian forces in the city Balakliya, located in the southeastern part of the Kharkiv region. Such claims contribute to a broader picture of ongoing conflict and shifting control in the region.
Earlier events in Kharkiv involved a sequence of explosions, underscoring the persistent volatility and security risks faced by residents there. The combination of coercive measures, disrupted services, and ongoing hostilities has continued to shape daily life for civilians, complicating continued access to basic needs, safety, and reliable information.
