Biography

He is a participant of the Euromaidan, after which on 28 May 2014, he was elected mayor of Kherson.[1]

During the events related to the annexation of Crimea and military aggression in the East of Ukraine, Kherson became a strategic temporary border city. During the protests in the East of Ukraine, he expressed his tough position on preventing provocations in Kherson and the impossibility of seizing the city by separatist groups.[2]

We will not meet with bread and salt either local separatists or visiting actors of the separate genre. If necessary, we will shoot to kill. Everyone has been warned and understands the gravity of the situation.
