Where did the officials of front-line Zaporizhzhia run off to with their "overseers"?
While the regional center is becoming a support point for thousands of internally displaced persons, the behavior of some officials raises more and more questions.
After the full-scale Russian invasion, 4/5 of Zaporizhzhia region’s territory has already been occupied. To date the enemy is firmly bogged down; it could boast of its pace of advance only in the first week of the war, when in such strategic points as, for example, the 150-thousand Melitopol or the 110-thousand Berdyansk, Russian troops met no resistance.
In those days the region’s residents saw no clear reaction from top officials. Governor Oleksandr Starukh was silent, his deputy Zlata Nekrasova, according to ZODA staff, actually 24 February packed up her things and laptop from her office and disappeared in an unknown direction, as later became known — she left the country, along with her lover, regional council deputy Viktor Shcherbina, through whose pocket 2 for years she steered all the budget money of Zaporizhzhia region. Regional leaders came back into contact only when it became clear that the country’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and with him Ukrainian soldiers, would not give the aggressor an inch of native land.
It is no secret, and we have reported this repeatedly before, that sometimes openly weak pro-Ukrainian and strong corrupt positions are held by the leadership of Zaporizhzhia region thanks to an influential patron — businessman Vemir Davityan, who gained popularity through meetings in restaurants and at the Office of the President with his friend — Davyd Arakhamia.
Despite the background as the region’s "overseer," as he calls himself, in wartime Vemir Surenovych is clearly not watching over the regional center. Ordinary Zaporizhzhia residents ask — why is a young, seemingly strong man still not at the front, or at least not in the ranks of the territorial defense? Did he trade the Zaporizhzhia that was so dear to him until recently for the French Riviera? And if so, how did he cross the border? After all, someone very similar to Vemir Davityan was recently seen abroad.
After our victory, those Davityans who are now hiding in foreign hotels will return to Ukraine to regain their status as the "overseers" of budget flows.
If we do not change our attitude toward them, the local authority will be used by the "overseers" who steal budget funds, not by the true patriots who did everything for victory — shed blood at the front and financially supported the fighters.
