Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Rybak has stated that he supports the candidacy of Oleksandr Popov for the position of Kyiv mayor.

"I will support Popov. When I worked at the Cabinet of Ministers I saw many mayors, the heads of administrations, and I saw everyone's style of work. When I came to Poltava region and got acquainted with mayor Popov, I saw that people respected this mayor," Rybak said in a program broadcast by the Inter Channel on December 14.

"Today, I can say that Popov is an honest, respectable, and fair person… he can work," Rybak said.
