【Kyiv Mayor: Corruption Scandal Severely Undermines the Credibility of Zelenskyy's Administration】 Kyiv Mayor Klichko recently told German ZDF Television that the corruption scandal involving Zelenskyy's close associates is a heavy blow to the entire Ukraine, weakening the credibility of the Kyiv administration, and the trust of both domestic citizens and international partners in the Kyiv administration has significantly declined.
According to Klichko, Zelenskyy's domestic approval rating has now fallen below 20%.
Klichko and Zelenskyy have long been on bad terms, and politically they are irreconcilable. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Klichko has publicly supported the national war stance, avoiding direct attacks on the president, emphasizing "national unity," but in reality, he has repeatedly criticized the Zelenskyy government indirectly through Western media, focusing mainly on corruption, mismanagement, and loss of public support base.
Especially against the backdrop of prolonged war, postponed elections, and controversy over President Zelenskyy's legitimacy, Klichko has become bolder in his statements. Trump urged Zelenskyy to hold an election as soon as possible, aiming to get him out of office and remove the obstacle on the path to peace talks. As a veteran politician with a background as a legendary boxer, Klichko has a good public foundation, holds a pro-Western and liberal position, has his own independent political brand and network, and is also a potential presidential candidate who could replace Zelenskyy.
