Mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klitschko informed about a large-scale campaign to discredit the capitalʼs authorities and him personally.
He stated this in a video message on June 21.
"I would like to briefly comment on the situation currently unfolding in the capital. There is a stormy campaign to discredit the capital authorities and me personally. Endless searches that paralyze the work of city departments and services. In wartime, they bring chaos to the management of the capital. Key enterprises of critical infrastructure are not allowed to work properly. The same documentation comes several times," Klitschko noted.
As an example, 24-hour house arrest for the head of the Department of Municipal Security Roman Tkachuk (in the case of closed shelters). Klitschko stated that there was a request for a preventive measure for Tkachuk, which would have allowed him to travel to emergency situations, but the court rejected it.
Instead, Klitschko stated that "none of the heads of the districts, who are responsible for arranging shelters and are balance-keepers and managers of funds, were not injured." He hints that this is a planned action of the central government, and the heads of district state administrations are in the vertical of the central government.
- On June 10, the Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin said that all shelters in Kyiv were checked and only 15% of them were suitable for use without significant comments. The KCSA accused the government of manipulation and stated that 65% of the shelters in the capital are suitable for use.
- The presidentʼs office plans to appoint its own person to replace Vitaliy Klitschko in the Kyiv City State Administration. Currently, the most likely candidate is Oleksandr Kamyshin, the Minister of Strategic Industries, which is why the OP is actively integrating him into the life of the capital.
