Tomenko, discussing the situation in Kyiv.
In his speech, Deputy Chairman reminded that at the last sitting of Kyiv council, representative of the President and Head of Kyiv City State Administration Oleksandr Popov "read out our suggestions that we had made three years ago."

"As the opposition, we are ready to assist the President in this matter, and bring discipline in Kyiv, sending all "political cosmonauts" to the corresponding places on the eve of the Cosmonautics Day and giving Kyiv citizens an opportunity to rule the capital", he stressed.
