Ukraine's Authoritarian Shift Amidst Klitschko-Zelensky Conflict

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has expressed concerns that Ukraine is moving towards authoritarianism, indirectly criticizing President Volodymyr Zelensky. Klitschko believes that the President's Office views mayors as obstacles to centralizing power, and he hasn't spoken to Zelensky since the full-scale invasion began. The conflict between Klitschko and Zelensky has been ongoing, with disagreements over the handling of Kyiv's protection and attempts to remove the mayor from his position.
