The mayor himself rejected all the accusations and said that his removal could negatively affect the work of the community.
“I head the commission on environmental security and emergency situations, which is responsible for eliminating the consequences of enemy shelling. Dozens of houses were damaged in Vyshgorod, and I coordinate the work of all services,” Momot explained.
