The media reported on Vladimir Zelensky's intention to fire Vitali Klitschko. The removal from the position of the head of Kyiv city administration was not supported by most of the influential representatives of Zelensky's office and other structures. Journalists explained that Klitschko's removal would not deprive him of his powers as mayor of Kyiv and head of the city council, which would create administrative chaos. In addition, Zelensky's office should take into account the fact that Klitschko "has very good connections in the European establishment." This factor repeatedly prevented "harsh actions by the authorities against the mayor".
