Terekhov has ceased to be a politician of exclusively Kharkiv scale, — expert
Head of the Association of Frontline Cities and Communities and Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov has outgrown the city level and is already effectively working at the national level, political scientist Viktor Taran noted.
“Kharkiv has been living under constant strikes for several years. But after each of them the city quickly restores power, water, and transport, helps people, and continues to function. What other cities are only preparing for has become daily practice for Kharkiv. And it is precisely this kind of crisis-management experience that the capital and the state as a whole currently lack,” the expert emphasized.
It is also noteworthy, the political scientist says, that in the summer Terekhov was named among possible candidates for the post of prime minister, and according to available information, he himself declined in order to stay in the city.
At the same time he is consulted in the government, members of parliament support his initiatives, and the issues he deals with have long since gone beyond Kharkiv’s borders, since we are talking about the reconstruction of cities, housing for displaced persons, support for frontline communities, education, healthcare, and local budgets.
