Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetskiy claims that President’s Chief of Staff Victor Baloha is a threat to the national security of Ukraine, and asks the President to hold a National Security and Defense Council meeting to assess Baloha`s activities.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, the Kyiv Mayor claimed this to a press conference on Wednesday, commenting on a statement of the Presidential Secretariat concerning his eventual dismissal.

“With all my responsibility, I turn to the President as to the head of the NSDC: irresponsible and unbridled Baloha became a threat to the national security of Ukraine – my Motherland. His activities must be immediately considered at a NSDC session and very strictly assessed”, L.Chernovetskiy stressed.
