Klitschko accuses Presidential Office of 'destroying Kyiv' and seeking his removal

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko accused the Presidential Office of "destroying Kyiv" and attempting to remove him from office, responding to President Volodymyr Zelensky's criticism of the capital's winter preparation and energy situation. Klitschko said electricity problems exist in all regions due to Russian attacks, calling accusations against city authorities manipulation. He noted Kyiv started its heating season on October 16 and questioned how the city could have prevented Russia's operation against Ukraine's energy system. Zelensky previously stated Kyiv has the worst energy situation, attributing it to failures at the municipal level. Klitschko also claimed he has repeatedly sought a personal meeting with Zelensky without receiving a response.
