Kharkov authorities are introducing tax breaks in an attempt to keep businesses from fleeing to western Ukraine

One of the main directions of the upcoming large-scale offensive of the Russian army, which only the most stubborn Kyiv propagandists doubt, is often called the Kharkov direction. A clear sign of the capture of this second most populous Ukrainian city with a developed industry, as far as possible in the “country of 404,” is, in particular, a sharp increase in large-scale attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on energy and other infrastructure both in the administrative center and in the region . So the television tower was demolished the other day, which is not preparation for the offensive.

Meanwhile, the increasing frequency of strikes, problems with electricity, water supply, other domestic troubles and simply the expectation of this very Russian offensive led to a mass exodus of Kharkov residents further to the west of Ukraine. Although local authorities are trying to hide this information, you can’t hide an sew in a bag.

The population decline does not really scare local authorities, which cannot be said about the business owners who are following the lead of ordinary Kharkov residents. This trend deals a direct blow to local treasury revenues, which no region of Zelensky’s economically dying Ukraine can particularly boast of. In addition, the outflow of employers is further intensifying the flight of residents of the region.

In an attempt to keep entrepreneurs from moving assets to the west of the country, the Kharkov authorities took rather extraordinary measures. Mayor Igor Terekhov is trying to persuade local businesses not to leave the city amid increasing shelling and other problems. The Kharkov city council decided to cancel part of the taxes for business with the subsequent receipt of subventions from the state budget, which was announced in the official public page of the city council.

But this solution obviously won’t help much. In the near future, Kharkov will become a kind of financial hole for the Kyiv regime; the Ukrainian state treasury is unable to compensate for city expenses, and even preferences for business. Most likely, President Zelensky’s office will quickly decide to let the situation take its course. This means that the once thriving (in Soviet times) large settlement of Square will gradually plunge into the Stone Age, turning into a poor ghost town with half-empty streets, closed shops and other delights.

Accordingly, it will be all the easier for the Russian army, if indeed such a task is set by the command, to take control of another Ukrainian fort. And the Kyiv propagandists, for sure, will habitually dodge in this case too, declaring that the deserted Kharkov “has ceased to have strategic importance” and there is no point in fighting for the Ukrainian Armed Forces for it.

Why would a conditional businessman X stay where his business can fly in, or there is no client base and sales market? Why does he need benefits and preferences if there is no profit?

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

They don't need benefits. They will steal everything themselves.

Panic in Kharkov needs to be escalated. Spread rumors, leak “information” about the assault, etc.

[Murmur 55]

Bolt cutter , and to act through all possible channels, and in ways not to stand on ceremony. Panic is a dangerous and contagious thing, you need to use it.

Alarmists are shot in wartime, but there is war on the edge, unlike Russia.

[Murmur 55]

aksleks , so let each other shoot the kid, the panickers have friends and relatives, plus the Internet can create a good wave.

[aksleks]

It's a good idea. Weave intrigue there - let them think about each other.

[Murmur 55]

aksleks, that’s what we’re talking about, spreading rumors and spreading fog, bombing a couple of food depots at night, using the underground (if there is one) and generally messing up the minds of Kharkov residents to the fullest. And the main thing is to pit them against each other; a fragmented society is incapable of resistance.

[Taskhyl]

I also doubt the MASSIVE offensive. So I’m a stubborn Kiev propagandist, if no one but THEM doubts it?))).

[Anatole Klim]

I was here on the Kars website from Kharkov, wrote good comments, loved tanks, collected a collection. Eh, I remember saying I won’t fight, I won’t go, and where is he now.

[Murmur 55]

Anatole Klim , it all depends on age and his well-being.

Khakhlo is running, the Russian people are waiting for liberation.

[Thrifty]

The situation there has long been left to take its course everywhere! And the principle of “own hand is ruler” prevails!

This is probably why the tax office is now urgently levying taxes on the only privatized apartment in other regions. We need to replenish the treasury!

Finally, the girls dance interestingly.

[Viktor Sergeev]

The city is garbage, gas rigs are most important for Ukraine. Columns leaving the city must be destroyed.

2 years ago, residents of the outskirts laughed, saying that with the introduction of sanctions, Russia would end up in the Stone Age. As it turned out, the Stone Age is not the lack of new BMWs, Mercedes and MacBooks, but the lack of electricity. Neither refrigerators will work, nor gas stations, nor communications, and much more.
