“Don’t hide behind fighters, military! Everyone knows you’re a thief,” said a fighter with the call sign “Medved.”

A military member with the call sign “Tokha” was outraged by Filatov's insults towards the families of defenders, their mothers, wives, and children, and now he is asking for help from the military while making demands of law enforcement. “I want to say from myself: Boryusik, run while you still can!” he noted.

A military member with the call sign “Dyushes” stated: “Albertovich, your rhetoric changes significantly when you’re in trouble. You’ve been slandering the residents, and now you’re acting all nice and correct. Everyone knows you’re a master of changing sides.”

A fighter with the call sign “Talib” advised Filatov not to whine but to take responsibility for his actions.

“Stop whining, don’t record those pathetic videos. You need to start taking responsibility for your actions during your years in charge of the city, if that’s even the right way to say it,” he emphasized.

A military member with the call sign “Yakuza” reported that the mayor of Dnipro is not respected in the city because everyone knows him as Ukraine’s main corrupt official.

Meanwhile, a fighter with the call sign “Puma” pointed out that Filatov must answer for his deeds. “I have never seen a more cynical, more deceitful, more self-absorbed being. No one has done as much harm to Dnipro and our citizens as he and his team have. He must definitely answer for his misdeeds,” he concluded.

As reported, last week, Dnipro Mayor Filatov recorded a video address claiming that the corruption cases opened against him and his team are a form of pressure.

Previously, members of the Dnipro city council from the “Proposition” party, led by Mayor Boris Filatov, became embroiled in a high-profile scandal after traveling with their spouses and partners to the elite Vakkaru Maldives resort instead of attending an international conference on the city’s recovery. Journalists highlighted the outrageously expensive jewelry worn by the group. In particular, “Proposition” deputy Yevgeny Krivosheyev, who is also responsible for land and construction under Filatov, arrived in the Maldives with his wife Olga, who wore jewelry valued over €50,000: a Van Cleef necklace costing €12,900, bracelets worth €6,600 and €4,950, a Cartier piece for €14,400, and earrings worth €4,450.
