Ukraine: Kyiv's Mayor Gives Up His Paycheck

Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, Ukraine, Governance, Politics

Scott W. Clark of Foreign Notes writes [1] about Kyiv's new controversial mayor and his populist move to give up “his mayor’s paycheck for it to be used to buy apartments for Kiev citizens who don’t have them”: “That’s a nice gesture though it will probably not amount to much given the rise in apartment prices here in the past couple of years. I don’t think the mayor gets paid all that much relatively speaking so it will be a drop in the bucket.”
