Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky has said that he is not planning to resign.
"As for my resignation, it would be wrong for me, like a little child, to feel aggrieved now," he said at a city council session on Thursday, Feb.24.
The mayor said that now it would be wrong and unfair "to lay all the sins for the management of the city upon the administration."
"I support the Kyiv city administration as long as it takes the right steps, because the head of the city administration [Oleksandr Popov] is speaking the right language with the Cabinet of Ministers. He is a Regions Party member and he knows how to reach agreement in the interests of Kyiv residents," Chernovetsky said.
The mayor said that the new leadership of Kyiv City State Administration had managed to complete the construction of facilities launched by the previous city authorities.
"Crisis has prevented us [from completing construction work]," he said.
"But I’m not planning to feel aggrieved. It would be a betrayal with respect to those who elected me [as Kyiv mayor]," Chernovetsky said.
