According to Syniehubov: "The Russian invaders realise that they have lost the war in the Kharkiv region, and they cannot take Kharkiv. So they are continuing their terror against the civilian population, in particular against the heads of the territorial communities of the Kharkiv region.

Today we have received a report that they have kidnapped Viktor Mykolaevich Tereshchenko, head of the Velikoburluk territorial community, from his office."

According to our information, they summoned him to his workplace and then took him to the local police station under this pretext. And now they are holding him there, not letting him go."

Details: Syniehubov said that the authorities would do everything they could to get Tereshchenko released.
