To the outside world, Klitschko and Selenskyj demonstrate unity during the Russian war of aggression. But again and again the relationships are crisis. Now the mayor speaks of intrigue.
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko complained to President Wolodymyr Selenskyj in a video message about the interference of the military administration in the affairs of the city administration. “While they are focused on the war and the defense of Ukraine as commander -in -chief, people from their surroundings deal with political intrigues,” said Klitschko.
These processes have now achieved a critical level, destabilized the administration and “represent a threat to the livelihood of the capital,” said Klitschko.
Selenskyj had replaced the head of Kiev’s military administration at the turn of the year. He replaced Serhij Popko with Tymur Tkatschenko, who was previously Vice Minister for questions of strategic industrial sectors. Military experience does not have Tkatschenko, but the new military governor had announced quick and comprehensive changes in Kiev a few days ago in his telegram channel. The first thing he wanted to do was exchange the heads of the district administrations. He referred to the alleged approval of Selenskyj.
There were several crisis between Klitschko and Selenskyj
In the past, Klitschko and Selenskyj have come together several times. Before his time as President, Selenskyj had taken the Mayor of Kiev, who had been in office since 2014. During the war, Selenskyj then criticized his representation of the insufficient removal of damage after Russian air strikes in Kiev. Klitschko is considered a possible counter candidate Selenskyjs in any presidential elections.
