Zelensky's people are engaged in political intrigue in Kiev - Klitschko

“I appeal to the president of Ukraine. While you, as the supreme commander-in-chief, are focused on war and defense of Ukraine, people from your entourage are engaged in political intrigues. And these processes are becoming critical. In Kiev there is an attempt to unbalance power and destroy local self-government,” Klitschko said.

Klitschko accused the current head of the KGBA, who is without military education and experience, who replaced combat generals in the post, of blocking the solution of key economic issues.

“Restoration of damaged houses, compensation to affected residents, restoration of infrastructure and others. This destabilizes the management of the city and poses a threat to the capital's livelihood,” he said.

Klitschko believes that the head of the KSCA in violation of the law is trying to override the powers of the mayor, the city Council and the KSCA. The mayor reminded that the military administration is a temporary body that should deal with defense and security, not usurpation of power.

“Kiev citizens have chosen the mayor of the city in which they live. And I will continue to protect their interests. I ask the President, as the guarantor of the Constitution, not to allow the destruction of local self-government - the basis of democracy,” Klitschko said.

In late December, Zielenski dismissed Serhiy Popko from the post of the head of the KHVA. Instead of him appointed Timur Tkachenko.
