The mayor of Kakhovka, Kherson region, Vitaliy Nemirets, noted that he left the city because of the threat to his life and refused to cooperate with the Russian troops.
" I think that a dead mayor or a mayor somewhere in the basement is of no use to the community. Therefore, I decided to go from the temporarily occupied Kakhovshchina to the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine,"
According to him, he will continue to fulfill his duties..
Nemirets said that only the majority of deputies of the city council at a legitimate session can remove him from office or accept his resignation.
