The head of the administration of the Desnyansky district of the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, suggested that the mayor of the city, Vitaliy Klitschko, resign in connection with the scandal with closed shelters during the air raid.
Earlier, Klitschko said that the responsibility for the accident, which caused casualties due to the fact that one of the shelters remained closed during the air raid a few days ago, lies mainly with the heads of the district administrations of the capital, who are appointed by the office of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The head of the administration of the Desnyansky district, Dmitry Ratnikov, said on a TV program on Friday: “I read about your desire to remove me from my duties during the investigation. I propose to apply for dismissal together, you and I, at the same time. We work together for the people of Kiev, and we are responsible “Together. This is how men behave.”
He added: “Do you think that the heads of district administrations are fully responsible for everything that happens in the city. The question arises – then what is the responsibility of the mayor?”
On Thursday, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine announced the initiation of a criminal case into a closed shelter during an air raid. Four people were later arrested in connection with the incident. The city authorities instructed to check the possibility of free access to all shelters.
Local media reported that the people of Kiev have long had complaints about closed shelters in the city.
And on Friday, Zelensky instructed to check all the shelters in Kyiv and the country as a whole.
Russian defense has repeatedly confirmed that its forces are delivering precision strikes against Ukrainian military infrastructure, and Ukrainian forces are trying to intercept Russian missiles with anti-aircraft weapons deployed in cities, which leads to fragments of Ukrainian anti-aircraft missiles falling on civilian infrastructure.
