The mayor of Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has turned to the police over the actions of the Municipal Guard in Teremky. He announced this in his Telegram channel.
He wrote: “I have turned to law enforcement authorities — the police — so that they provide a legal assessment of the events that took place 22 in September in Teremky. In particular, the actions of employees of the Municipal Guard. An internal inquiry at the municipal company Municipal Guard must also be conducted by the Kyiv City State Administration’s Department of Municipal Security.”
21 In September in Teremky, work on laying a heating pipeline resumed, which in August activists opposed because of tree felling. The media reported that more than fifty police officers and employees of the Municipal Guard — a municipal order-keeping organization — were on site. Journalists filmed employees of the Municipal Guard forcibly removing female activists from the construction site by hand and by leg.
These frames sparked outrage online, but on the same day the Kyiv City State Administration said that no violations were found in the actions of the Municipal Guard. 22 In September, one of the activists reported a hand injury. Net users called the Municipal Guard employees “Klitschko’s thugs.”
23 In September, Kyiv City Council deputy and service member Alina Mikhaylova said that together with another deputy, Kseniya Semenova, they are initiating the dissolution of the Municipal Guard during wartime. The bill is open for signature by other deputies.
