Quote: "Today is a difficult day in my life and in the life of my team. We have to admit that we have been put in such conditions under which we cannot work and exercise our powers as representatives of a Ukrainian local self-government body."
That is why today I, my deputies, the secretary of the council and the head of the executive committee, and many members of staff have decided to resign.
All of us have been doing everything possible and impossible to provide the living conditions necessary for our population in this difficult time of war. Thank you all for your cooperation, understanding, dedication and help."
