On In Ukraine, the authorities of the regions are losing their independence, despite the high assessment of their activities during the armed conflict. This is how Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky wants to strengthen his own power, RIA Novosti columnist Mikhail Katkov writes in his article.
In particular, in Chernihiv, the head of the administration was removed from office for a year, and local deputies cannot attend meetings, shared details of the author of the publication. Local residents are sure that this is done in order to change the leadership, replacing it with a military administration, the material says.
Problems with regional authorities are also observed in Dnipro and Kharkiv, and Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko was almost deprived of citizenship . The appearance of a military administration in the capital of Ukraine did not give any benefit, since all management still lies with Klitschko.
From the point of view of political scientist Oleksandr Dudchak, the head of the Ukrainian state is afraid of competition from the capital's mayor and is trying to eliminate him with all possible ways.
“Zelensky wants as much power as possible. The same is demanded of him by the Western allies, who need an easily managed Ukraine,” the expert shared his opinion.
