The mayor of a city in eastern Ukraine, who first supported pro-Russian separatist fighters before switching to new pro-European authorities in Kiev, has died from coronavirus complications, people close to him said Thursday.
Long-serving Kharkiv Mayor Gennady Kernes, 61, wheel-chair bound since he was shot and wounded in mysterious circumstances in 2014, was transported to Charite hospital in Berlin in September after contracting Covid-19 and died there.
