Head of Mykolayiv OVA Vitaly Kim

Vitalii Kim, the head of Mykolayiv RMA, gave an example of the bravery of Ochakiv, who suffers from Russian shelling almost every day, noting that even in such conditions, all sessions of the city council there are held offline.

He said this on the air of the TV channel «Apostrophe TV», writes NikVesti.

— Ochakiv is a historically very powerful city. There are very brave people there. According to memory, out of 15,000, 7,000 people remain there. I will give you an example. All sessions of the city council during this time were held offline. Even during shelling, in cover. Ochakiv stands and will stand, — said Vitalii Kim.

It is worth reminding that during the corresponding period, the Mykolaiv City Council, whose deputy is Vitalii Kim, did not hold a single session in an offline format. Starting from February 24, meetings are held exclusively in zoom conferences.

According to the leaders of the factions, this will not change the quality of the deputies' work. In particular, this opinion was supported by Artem Iliuk, Hanna Remennikova and Fedir Panchenko.

In turn, the head of the «Servant of the People» faction in the Mykolaiv City Council, Tetiana Dombrovska, emphasized the importance of the transition of the City Council's work to face-to-face mode.

We will also remind you that during the session on October 26 of this year, the representative of the pro-propositional party «Proposition», the secretary of the city council Dmytro Falko, as well as one of the managers of the municipal property management of the city, Tetiana Dmytrova , called Mykolaiv deputies «bunnies» for the unanimous vote on the unification of maternity hospitals.

Later, the mayor of Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Sienkevych , commented on the behavior of city council members during the session, when after the results of voting on issues important to the executive power, one of the officials called them hares. He said that he did not consider it necessary to give an assessment of this situation, but asked the deputies to monitor their microphones.

It should be noted that sessions in the online mode also take place in the regional council. The only offline session during the full-scale war took place in March 2023, when the deputies were to elect the first deputy head of the regional council.

The head of the Mykolayiv RMA Vitalii Kim said that the deputy corps of the regional council will start to work face-to-face only when security measures are finally approved and a place with shelter is provided.
