This was stated by the head of the regional state administration Igor Baluta, the press service of the Kharkov Regional State Administration reports.
According to him, the decision was made based on information from law enforcement agencies. In his opinion, the festive events on the square in Kharkov could gather from 55 to 80 thousand people.
“We expected that we would be able to stop the situation, but we have information that they are planning not just provocations from citizens who are not happy with something, but provocations associated with mass casualties. We discussed these issues at headquarters and with representatives of veteran organizations,” Baluta said.
Veteran organizations of the region reacted with understanding to this decision, the Regional State Administration says.
As Navigator reported, a parade with military equipment and aircraft was planned in Kharkov. In many cities, festive events are planned to be held with a reduced program or with restrictions on symbolism.
