Mayor of Chernihiv not released abroad

The mayor of Chernigov, Vladislav Atroshenko, tried to leave for Poland, but he was stopped at the border and not allowed to leave the territory of Ukraine. the mayor of Chernihiv spoke about this on Facebook .

Atroshenko said that he was heading to Rzeszow as part of a delegation of four people. There he had to sign documents on partnership and assistance to Chernihiv.

I clearly associate such actions with the political games of officials that harm Chernihiv and discredit the president,” he wrote.

According to Atroshenko, at the Krakovets customs checkpoint, the mayor was denied permission to cross the border on the grounds that he "did not provide the relevant documents confirming the basis for traveling abroad."

The mayor noted that questions about documents arose only in relation to him and claims that he had a complete package of documents in his hands, allowing him to cross the border for official purposes.

Atroshenko called the incident "a political attack on the part of one of the employees of the President's Office." For the same reason, they say, they have already tried to ban him from a business trip to Davos.

Earlier, Vladislav Atroshenko said that it would take at least four years to restore Chernihiv destroyed by Russian troops. According to him, in such terms it is possible to rebuild the city in optimal conditions. The reality may be different, because, for example, in Ukraine there are no technologies for dismantling damaged concrete houses surrounded by other high-rise buildings.
