Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko sees no problem with the construction of high-rise buildings in the Dnipro River's coastal water protection zone. Moreover, he believes that constructing such buildings there will improve the capital.
A source close to the city's leadership, who wished to remain anonymous, told KV about this.
According to the source, at a meeting with public activists opposing the development of Nikolskaya Slobidka, Vitaly Vladimirovich harshly assessed the citizens' desire to protect the historical and architectural heritage of Kyiv.
"He was very angry, and when he was rightly reminded that construction in the coastal zone faces numerous legal obstacles, the mayor lost his temper and said something like, 'Kyiv has been built and will continue to be built.' And we'll build on the banks of the Dnieper, even 50 stories high," a KV source reported.
The source also claims that Klitschko's entire demeanor made it clear to activists that he has a very negative attitude toward certain social movements, and that he considers most anti-development initiatives to be a form of blackmail.
