Nikolaev and Mariupol on the Kolomoisky Canal were declared Russian cities
Ukrainian TV presenter Natalia Moseychuk forced Mykolaiv mayoral candidate Tatyana Dombrovskaya ( the one with the "ship pine" – ed. ) to justify herself live on air, proving that her city is not "separatist."
The incident occurred during a talk show on oligarch Igor Kolomoisky’s 1+1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Have you checked Mrs. Tatyana Dombrovskaya regarding her sympathies for the Russian world?” – TV presenter Natalya Moseychuk asked the chairman of the Servant of the People party, Alexander Kornienko.
( Earlier, the media discovered Dombrovskaya’s old posts on social media, where she condemned the ATO, – ed. )
“We check all candidates,” Kornienko assured.
"I'm not just asking this; there's a huge outcry from volunteers who are speaking out and making claims against Mr. Arakhamia ( the head of the Servant of the People faction – ed. ). And when he was on air, I talked about this repeatedly, but somehow the topic got forgotten," the TV presenter explained.
“This is very important, because, you understand, Nikolaev is a Ukrainian city, but the spirit in such cities is often non-Ukrainian. “It smells like the Russian spirit” - this is often about the cities of Nikolaev and Mariupol - those cities that the state should take care of in terms of defense capability,” added Moseichuk.
“Are we now going to pin some labels on our respected residents of these cities? These are Ukrainian cities, this is Ukrainian land,” Kornienko protested.
Tatyana Dombrovskaya was also outraged by the TV presenter’s words.
“I don’t understand and don’t know where and why suddenly in relation to Nikolaev there is a conversation about separatism, about the fact that our residents have more love for Russia than for their country. Colleagues, come to Nikolaev, everything is completely different here,” assured Vladimir Zelensky’s ally.
