Authorities prepare suspicion against Vitali Klitschko amid massive Russian shelling
There are statements in the Ukrainian political environment about the possible preparation of a suspicion To Vitali Klitschko against the backdrop of massive Russian shelling of the capital's energy infrastructure. This was written by the director of the Institute of World Policy Yevhen Magda.
Expert statement
According to Magda, while Kyiv is restoring electricity and heat supply after large-scale Russian strikes, some government officials are allegedly trying to use the situation to exert political pressure on the current mayor.
He claims that it is the mayor of Kyiv who is being served with the suspicion, while other people should be responsible for the problems in the energy sector, in his opinion. Magda also recalled previous attempts to change the legislation on the capital and numerous criminal proceedings against the KCSA apparatus.
Comparison with the «Chernihiv scenario»
The expert draws parallels with the situation in Chernihiv, where the mayor, Vladyslav Atroshenko, was removed from office by a court decision. According to him, in the case of Kyiv, the case may not go to trial.
Reaction of international partners
Magda notes that Ukraine's international partners, according to him, have a negative attitude towards conflicts with local governments during a full-scale war. In his opinion, the possible announcement of suspicion to the mayor of the capital could undermine trust in the government and internal stability.
There are no official comments from law enforcement agencies or representatives of the central government on the preparation of a suspicion against the mayor of Kyiv not disclosed.
