Gennadiy Kernes refused of allocating money from the budget to protect Harkov

Mayor of Ukrainian Harkov Gennadiy Kernes announced that authorities will not allocate money to volunteers and activists who are preparing for the city defence.

‘Volunteers and activists will prepare bomb shelters, checkpoints themselves, no money is not allocated from the budget’, announced one activist at the meeting of the City Council. They asked to allocate for these purposes 2% from the city budget.

‘We do not consider Harkov to be the ATO zone’, replied Kernes. We do not invest subdivisions. We are going to open module town for settlers. We provide privileges for families with many children, and students. It is our main task. Military men are to protect Harkov’, said Kernes.
