Igor Kolykhaev/Collage of Channel 24
Russian the invaders kidnapped and took away in an unknown direction the mayor of Kherson Igor Kolikhaev. Some officials believe that it was not by chance that the infidels did it right now. In addition, the day before Kolykhaev had a conflict with Gennady Laguta.
Kherson activist Volodymyr Molchanov told Channel 24 about this. He told details about the work of Kolykhaev during the occupation of Kherson.
According to him, the day before the head of the regional military administration, Gennady Laguta, advised Mayor Igor Kolikhaev to leave the city. To which he outraged and “broke ties” with Laguta .
Now what happened (the kidnapping of the mayor) is the culmination of this conflict . As Laguta's adviser Serhiy Khlan said, this is an attempt to “sit on two chairs,” the activist says.
However, Molchanov noted that there is no evidence that Kolykhaev collaborated with the occupiers. “But I can say that Kolykhaev, being surrounded by invaders, could not fully manage the city,” the activist explained.
a post on the social network “two chairs of Mayor Kolikhaev”.
He told facts about Kolikhaev's work during the occupation:
- Fountains were turned on by Igor Kolykhaev from the state budget, from our taxes, just in time for the Day of Russia, flowers were planted in occupied Kherson. A picture of a familiar life was created.
- Kolykhaev himself wrote posts that he was for the world and for Kherson. Thus, for several months of occupation, until the approval of the chairman of the OVA was needed, 2/3 of the annual budget of the city was spent.
And since from July 1, the occupiers are forcing utilities to switch to rubles, and workers to issue Russian passports, “Kolykhaev must be determined whether he continues to work with the becoming Russian utilities or refuses.”
According to Khlanya, 3 days before the “transition of utilities” Igor Kolikhaev was kidnapped . It remains only to wait what will happen next.
The Kherson activist confirmed that all the facts listed in the post are true. And Kolyarev was constantly criticized for this.
But here it is difficult to say whether this is an adaptation for infidels, or this is his conscious position. He used to be such a fan of landscaping in the city. Yes, Kolykhaev turned on the fountains on the day of Russia, although he could have organized the technical impossibility of this before the occupiers,” Molchanov said.
However, the activist also does not understand why Laguta, if Kolykhaev did not want to leave, did not appoint another chairman of the Kherson city military administration.
By the way, Igor Kolykhaev had a clear pro-Ukrainian position. The mayor of Kherson, a few hours before the storming of the city by the Russians, said that the townspeople were ready to meet uninvited guests. Then on March 1, he also noted that Kherson would survive, would remain a Ukrainian city, and its inhabitants would not cooperate with the invaders.
Already a week later, Igor Kolykhaev conveyed the corresponding message to the invaders themselves. He emphasized that Kherson, already temporarily occupied at that time, was part of Ukraine.
