600 thousand "ghosts": KCSA refutes Klychko’s data on mass exodus of Kyiv residents from the city

600 thousand "ghosts": KCSA refutes Klychko’s data on mass exodus of Kyiv residents from the city

The spokesperson of the capital’s military administration noted that if the city’s residents were to leave en masse, there would be more electricity, but this argument does not hold up to scrutiny.

Information about Kyiv residents leaving the city is currently unconfirmed, according to the Kyiv Military Administration. This is how they commented on the statements made by the capital’s mayor regarding the alleged departure of 600,000 residents from the metropolis. However, for their analysis, they use data on electricity supply, which, under the current conditions in the city, sounds like a joke.

The allegedly false data, voiced earlier by Vitaliy Klychko, was refuted on the air of the "United News" telethon by the spokesperson of the KMVA, Kateryna Pop. She stated that the information expressed by the city’s mayor is currently unconfirmed and provided a rather strange argument. According to her, the city still experiences a critical shortage of electricity, and if people had left, it would have been noticeable.

"Such information is not confirmed by any unit of the Kyiv City Military Administration, and if such a number of subscribers who are provided with electricity services had left, then, most likely, the situation with power supply would not be so critical. So, we see the facts. If such numbers are claimed – we do not see the result of this. Well, unless they didn’t turn off the lights," Kateryna Pop noted in her comment.
