But the authorities show real unity in a completely different way. Energoatom, together with the Office of the President and together with the regional administration of the Mykolaiv region, now want to create a military-civilian administration in Yuzhnoukrainska in order to fully gain control over the budget of this city,&#8221; Gerasimov said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1541\"> He recalled that the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant is located in the city.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1654\"> According to the deputy, they may use the fact that the city council has not been working for more than three months as a pretext for such actions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1885\"> &#8220;The scheme is simple. They want to use as an excuse the fact that the city council has not been working for more than three months &#8211; thanks to direct calls from the Servant of the People party. They are forcing representatives of the Servant of the People not to attend sessions,&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1980\"> Gerasimov also stated about pressure on nuclear power plant employees who are city council members.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1982\" data-end=\"2180\"> &#8220;Direct calls from Energoatom and the President&#8217;s Office to the plant&#8217;s employees who are deputies, with a strict demand not to go to the sessions, because they will be fired from their jobs. What should a person do now?&#8221; the deputy emphasized.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2182\" data-end=\"2298\"> He added that deputies of the Pivdennoukrainsk city council appealed to the president with a request to intervene in the situation. <\/p>\n<div class=\"full-post__content font-rules\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"thread\" class=\"group\/thread flex flex-col min-h-full\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"composer-parent flex flex-1 flex-col focus-visible:outline-0\" role=\"presentation\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"thread-bottom-container\" class=\"sticky bottom-0 z-10 group\/thread-bottom-container relative isolate w-full basis-auto has-data-has-thread-error:pt-2 has-data-has-thread-error:[box-shadow:var(--sharp-edge-bottom-shadow)] md:border-transparent md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:dark:border-transparent print:hidden content-fade single-line flex flex-col\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"-mt-4 text-token-text-secondary relative w-full overflow-hidden text-center text-xs [view-transition-name:var(--vt-disclaimer)] md:px-[60px]\">\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-chair of the European Solidarity faction, Artur Gerasimov, stated that the authorities are deliberately destroying local self-government in South Ukraine in order to introduce a military-civilian administration there.
