“Awful work! The center hasn’t been cleaned at all. The authorities are stating that they’ve done a lot but if you look around – nothing is being done! It was much better during the times of [ex-mayor Oleksandr] Omelchenko!”

Olesya Yershova,
pensioner

“Winter is winter. Of course, snow is not a predictable thing but it’s their job to deal with it. Nothing has changed since [Kyiv Mayor Leonid] Chernovetsky’s time. But the winter this year is not that severe. And we have to walk and pray not to fall down.”

 

Lubov Usychova,
pensioner

“It is even worse with [Kyiv city administration head Oleksandr] Popov is in charge. Nothing is done. It is complete chaos and it is dangerous to walk.”

 

Mariya Kriva,
pensioner

“They aren’t cleaning anything. Just look here – you can kill yourself on these streets! Before saying they are cleaning streets they should see how I fell down.”

 

Viktor Krushe­nizky,
Donetsk, businessman

“The new chief doesn’t do anything. I can’t see anything being done even here in the center of the city. They aren’t even spreading salt on the roads. In Donetsk they clean streets much better!”
