Boryspil mayor points to need to purge power in Ukraine

Ukraine needs to "purge" the authorities because of the persecution of the opposition. This was stated by Boryspil mayor Volodymyr Borysenko on 14 February.

In his opinion, the Ukrainian government is sick.

"At a time when it is difficult on the front, when it is necessary to unite, the authorities are engaged in persecution of the opposition. <...> Perhaps, the power is sick. The way out is global cleansing," Borysenko said in a video published in the Telegram channel of the Borispol cell of the European Solidarity party.

According to the author, possible elections will force him to quit politics, while their absence and retention of power will provoke the destruction of his image as a democratically elected leader.
