US EditionEx-Boxer Mayor of Kyiv Lands Major Blow on ‘Authoritarian’ Zelensky
- In May 2025, Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv and ex-heavyweight boxing champion, publicly criticized President Zelensky, accusing him of authoritarian behavior.
- Klitschko's criticism stems from Zelensky's martial law decision to install a rival military administration, which Klitschko says halted Kyiv's progress amid corruption probes.
- Seven of Klitschko's subordinates were arrested and three are investigated for corruption involving land permits, bribes, and luxury developments during wartime.
- Klitschko described the current situation as an effort to undermine democratic values and governing bodies while using the conflict as justification, and noted that his fame shields him from attempts to discredit his outspoken criticism.
- The dispute highlights broader political tensions, reflecting concerns over wartime fund abuse and contested authority between Kyiv's elected mayor and the national government.
