> Residents gathered outside Kyiv's city council on Oct. 17, urging Mayor Vitali Klitschko to resign. They cited inadequate winter preparations amid Russian attacks, poor management, and concerns including shelters, public transport and cultural heritage. Klitschko's removal remains unlikely because wartime governance limits the options for dismissing him.
