Ukraine's Military Leadership Already Pointing Fingers Over Kharkov

"With major Russian advances in the Kharkov region over the weekend and continuing on Monday, Kiev’s military leadership is already assigning blame for Ukraine’s defensive failures in the region.
Over the weekend,
Russia made significant gains in the Kharkov region, particularly on two fronts: To the south of Belgorod (north of Kharkov) towards Liptsy and to the southeast, towards the city of Volchansk where Russian forces have already entered the outskirts of the city.
The Liptsy area of the front is largely under the protection of normal
Ukrainian forces and is under the control of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky. Meanwhile, the Volchansk region’s defense has been largely left to Ukraine’s special forces, made up of the neo-Nazi brigades like the so-called Russia Volunteer Corps and the Banderite “special forces” group Kraken.
Those groups are under the command of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GRU) head Kyrylo Budanov and are outside the normal military hierarchy.
As the situation began to deteriorate for
Ukraine’s defenses in the region, Budanov immediately began to place the blame on Syrsky’s troops in the region, according to some reports. There have been several reports of Budanov blaming Syrsky in Telegram channels but that could not be independently confirmed by Sputnik. There has been plenty of other blame to go around in Ukraine. On Monday, Kiev announced that it was sacking the commander in charge of the Volchansk region." Sputnik
