The SBU reported this on September 11.
It was noted that according to Stepanishchev’s plan, the units of the ground forces under his command should cordon off the city for 5 days and take it “in a ring.” To do this, attack groups of Russian troops had to cover Russian fighters, and ballistic missiles Iskander attack the civilian infrastructure of the regional center.
In addition, during the conflict, a group of special forces of the Russian military intelligence (known as the GRU) tried to infiltrate Kharkov to occupy the local administration building and raise the Russian flag there.
