The deputies made this decision under pressure from the public who were present at the meeting, local media write. Based on the results of the first vote, no decision was made on this issue (six people voted in favor, four deputies voted against, and another 17 abstained), reports Kramatorsk News.
However, activists managed to achieve a repeat vote, as a result of which the honorary status was removed.
As PolitNavigator reported, similar decisions were previously made in Poltava and Dnepropetrovsk.
