Deputy Speaker Mykola
Tomenko believes it is necessary to hold an emergency session of the National
Security and Defense Council of Ukraine on the situation in Kyiv and activities
of Kyiv authorities, he told journalists on Friday.
Tomenko pointed out that
the Kyiv authorities refuse to observe the Ukrainian legislation and fulfill
orders of the Cabinet of Ministers. He also added that Kyiv officials introduce
illegal taxes in the city.
“It seems that in the
nearest future they will charge not only dead Kyiv residents, but also all
relatives of Kyiv residents, including those living in other countries”,
he said.
Tomenko stressed that
neither the government nor other power organs can influence Kyiv mayor Leonid
Chernovetski, because the latter claimed many times that he follows the order of
the President only.
“It looks like the
President supports the activities of Chernovestki and his illegal actions, as he
awarded recently the mayor with Yaroslav the wise order”, Tomenko underlined.
