Quote: "In accordance with Article 4 of the Law of Ukraine On the Legal Regime of Martial Law, to dismiss Tymur Firuddinovych Tkachenko from the post of head of Kyiv City Military Administration."

Background:

• In May, a number of Kyiv-based social media channels reported that Tymur Tkachenko had submitted a resignation letter.
• At the same time, he responded to the reports about submitting a resignation letter, suspecting "certain aggressive political teams" of commissioning the materials.
• On 3 April 2025, the Kyiv City Council adopted a decision amending certain Kyiv City Council resolutions, which, in the view of KCMA head Tkachenko, limits his powers.
• Tkachenko subsequently filed a lawsuit concerning the expansion of powers by Kyiv City State Administration head Vitalii Klitschko.
• Tkachenko also complained in October 2025 that due to the absence of Mayor Vitali Klitschko, he was unable to hold a Defence Council meeting.
