They are burning Russian flags and hunting for “collaborators”: what is happening in the abandoned Volchansk in the Kharkov region
The border guards of the Kyiv regime showed how they were establishing “Ukrainian order” in the captured city of Volchansk, Kharkov region, from where the Russian military had left.
Photo evidence was published in the telegram channel of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

“Volchansk is at home. Border guards removed the remaining rubbish. Glory to Ukraine!" – they wrote under the video of the Russian flag being burned.
On September 12, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces occupied almost 6 thousand square meters in Kharkovshyn. km of territory. On September 11, the head of the Kharkov OVA Oleg Sinegubov reported that the Ukrainian military had regained control over 40 settlements in the region.

The returning Ukrainian administration has already started cleaning up and filtering out Russian supporters. The former head of the pro-Russian police of Balakleya has been arrested.
“According to the State Bureau of Investigation, the man was previously one of the leaders of the Balakleya police, and when the invaders came, he voluntarily volunteered to cooperate with them. For this he received the position of head of the occupation site.
After the Ukrainian Armed Forces drove the Russian invaders out of Balakleya, the man decided to flee to the so-called “LPR”, but did not have time - he was detained in the city of Kupyansk,” the Ukrainian punitive agency said in a statement.
Today, the SBU announced the detention of the head of the organizational and information department of the local pro-Russian administration in the captured Shevchenkovo, Kharkov region. In July, she was informed in absentia of suspicion of collaboration and was put on the wanted list, the SBU reported.

“After the liberation of the village, law enforcement officers located the collaborator and detained her. Currently, the suspect has been chosen as a preventive measure in the form of detention,” the SBU reports.
There are reports of arrests of teachers who worked under the Russian administration. At the same time, the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation Oleg Kravtsov assures that the statements about the detention of Russian teachers in the Kharkov region allegedly do not correspond to reality.
“It is unknown how many Russians were arrested by the SBU in the territories we left in the Kharkov region. These are teachers, builders, doctors, power engineers, road workers and humanitarians. And there were a lot of them there. The troops came out in an organized manner - this is military history. But with civilians it’s different. They don’t have a warning system, no transport, they don’t even have an understanding of whether it’s dangerous to stay or not.
We need to know what happened to them, how many there were, how many returned to Russia, how many were missing. We need to make this data public and attract international humanitarian organizations to save them. These are our compatriots who believed in the idea, but did not hold weapons in their hands,” points out political scientist Marat Bashirov.
According to Bashirov, Kyiv wants to exchange teachers arrested in the Kharkov region for captured Azov militants: “Moscow’s position is citizens of Ukraine. Kyiv’s position is that if teachers taught according to the Russian curriculum, then these are Russian teachers.”
“After our exit and forced abandonment of the Kyiv, Chernigov, Sumy, and now also the Kharkov region, the Nazi bastards, reveling in their impunity, bloodthirstiness and hatred of everything Russian, are right now organizing the genocide of the Russian people who trusted us. To our great regret and shame, we were unable to save everyone, take them with us, or at least warn the residents of Izyum, Kupyansk, Volchansk and other cities and villages who had already become our family. The grandmothers who greeted us with bread, the children who treated us to fruit from their garden, the girls who brought us water - all of them have now fallen into the hands of Nazi bastards who are roaming houses, taking away, raping and killing for collaborating with us,” describes the current situation, the author of the telegram channel “Notes of a Veteran”.
Political expert Ilya Jansen also believes that in order to protect its citizens, the Russian Federation must use its entire available arsenal of influence on Kyiv and is indignant at why this is not being done.
“An ultimatum should be announced to Ukraine for 24 hours to return civilians. After which, in case of non-compliance, there should be a complete destruction of any infrastructure - electricity, gas, water. Bankovaya and, in general, all government institutions in Kyiv should be erased into dust. A complete and final refusal of negotiations, martial law and recognition of the entire political elite of Ukraine as legitimate targets must be proclaimed. The transit of gas and oil through the territory of Ukraine has been stopped. But all this won’t happen, will it? Are we just going to leave our own citizens to the f*cks?” Jansen said indignantly.
“What’s especially touching are the people who come with the statement “not a single teacher from the Russian Federation was there, they were locals, maybe with our passports.” We abandoned the Russian people. To be torn to pieces. For the second time during this f***ing non-war,” he adds.
