The Kyiv City Hall has once again changed the "architecture" of its internal powers. Vitaliy Klitschko, who heads the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA), signed Order No. 740 on September 8, 2025, redistributing responsibilities among his numerous deputies.
This is not the first "castling" in the composition of the deputy mayors. Back in April 2022, Order No. 170 determined the basic distribution of functions, but since then the document has been changed repeatedly. The reasons are personnel layoffs, military service of individual officials, and the constant need to "readjust" the administrative machinery.
Who was affected by the latest changes?
First of all, we are talking about the dismissed deputy for local government powers, Petro Olenych. His functions have been partially transferred to Valentyn Mondryivskyi, and the main body of powers is now assigned to the new face in the mayor's team, Oleh Kuyavskyi.
Kujawski is not only responsible for entrepreneurship, trade, industry, and innovation, but also received some of the "power" functions of Andriy Kryshchenko, who is currently serving in the military. This includes territorial defense, mobilization training, and interaction with law enforcement agencies.
13 deputies and a complex hierarchy
As of September 2025, there are 13 deputies in the Kyiv City State Administration. Each of them has their own block of responsibility — from transport and medicine to education, culture, youth policy, and the environment.
-
First Deputy Mykola Povoroznyk oversees finances, international relations, and healthcare.
-
Petro Panteleev is responsible for housing and utilities and landscaping.
-
Valentyn Mondryivskyi works in education, culture, digitalization, and advertising.
-
Hanna Starostenko — cultural heritage, domestic politics, and communications.
-
Vyacheslav Nepop — construction, architecture and State Traffic Safety Administration.
-
Marina Honda — social protection, veteran policy, and tourism.
-
Olena Govorova — sports, youth politics, and patriotic education.
-
Konstantin Usov — administrative services, registration and some transport issues.
-
Volodymyr Prokopiv — environment and climate.
-
Andriy Kryshchenko — municipal security, defense, and interaction with law enforcement agencies.
-
Oleg Kuyavsky — entrepreneurship, industry, trade, part of defense functions.
-
Vladislav Andronov — land resources, communal property and archives.
In addition, Vitaliy Klitschko directly controls the transport sector, internal audit, and the fight against corruption.
This constant "shuffling" of responsibilities demonstrates the instability of the capital's management system. On the one hand, the mayor is trying to quickly respond to personnel changes and external challenges, on the other hand, critics point out that the Kyiv City State Administration is turning into an overly branched structure where it is difficult to determine personal responsibility for results.
Currently, in Kyiv, a separate deputy is responsible for virtually every area. This allows for concentration of attention, but creates risks of bureaucratization, conflicts between "sectors of influence," and a blurring of control.
