The mayor of Zaporozhye, Vladimir Buryak, who was under heavy "press" by the security forces, resigned right during the session of the Zaporozhye City Council. He explained his step by caring about his health - "heeded the recommendations of doctors."
"I'm not going to leave Zaporozhye, I'm not leaving politics either, Vladimir Buryak's party "Edinenie" continues what it started and I will personally actively participate in the development of the party and my native city," said the former mayor.
The deputies of the city council supported Buryak's early resignation, and appointed deputy of the city council from "Servants of the People", secretary of the Zaporozhye city council, Anatoly Kurtev, as acting mayor.
Let us remind you that in recent weeks, the Zaporozhye City Council has been plagued by numerous searches within the framework of several criminal proceedings under articles of embezzlement, embezzlement of property, or possession of it by abuse of official position. Searches also took place in the mayor's office, but the suspect was not handed over to him.
