“What, can’t the kids from abroad hand over a power bank?” — the mayor of Konotop ignored residents’ requests for almost five days while the city was without power.
For nearly five days residents traveled to neighboring cities to charge stations and power banks, set up improvised resilience points, and businesses searched for diesel. Mayor Artem Semenikhin meanwhile appeared on TV, joked, and assured that everything in the city was “fine.”
It’s cold now, so the food won’t spoil.
On the fifth day, Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi reported that he had spoken with the mayor and instructed the Ministry of Energy and Ukrenergo to urgently look into the situation. The government will provide Konotop with the necessary diesel supply today.
Klychko 1:1 Semenikhin.
