⚡ Vitali Klitschko in the Verkhovna Rada voiced the questions that concern the mayors of Ukrainian cities.
⭕️MPs from Servant of the People wanted to call him in for a dressing-down, but the conversation went in a different direction. The mayor of Kyiv raised issues in the Verkhovna Rada that today worry local self-government across Ukraine and drew attention to problems in interaction between the central government and communities.
In particular, the discussion concerned:
⭕️Where is the air defense?
⭕️Where is the protection of Ukrenergo facilities?
⭕️Where are the billions that were allocated for this and for protecting critical infrastructure?
“Now all cities and communities are coping with the consequences of Government decisions, in particular those related to the freezing of payments. Questions about the powers and functioning of local self-government arise not only in Kyiv. Heads of communities are being removed on dubious grounds, criminal proceedings are being opened. Why is parliament paying insufficient attention to this?!
Kyiv is the heart of the state that the enemy is trying to destroy. But it is no less important that there is enough unity and responsibility within the country to overcome common challenges. Kyiv will stand! By the joint efforts of those who love it, who work, who defend the democratic future of Ukraine!” — Vitali Klitschko said.
