Acting Chernihiv mayor Lomako resigned because of threats from the military administration

The acting mayor of the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv and secretary of the city council, Oleksandr Lomako, has announced his resignation due to threats from representatives of the military administration. He announced this on December 7 in his Telegram channel.

Lomako accused the officials of stopping the work of public transport in the city, threatening to disrupt the heating season, and preventing the construction of defensive structures near Chernihiv. According to him, the city is taken hostage and the condition for release is his resignation.

"They told me in simple words: if I don't do it, they will throw the city into chaos. And showed me what will happen if I refuse: disruption of the budget for 2025, complete shutdown of the city's largest hospital, no settlements with contractors working to rebuild the city, stoppage of meals in pre-school education institutions, complete shutdown of public transportation, not a penny for the AFU and much more!" - he added.

According to Lomako, he made the decision to resign in order to "free Chernihiv".
