Konstantin Usov is the acting Deputy Mayor of Kyiv, a position he has held since February 2021. In May 2023, he completed the Mid-Career Master in Public Administration (MC/MPA) program at the Harvard Kennedy School. Previously, Usov was a member of the Ukrainian parliament (2014-2019) and Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Communication and Digitalization. He represented Ukraine in the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe, served as a full member of the PACE Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination, and was a substitute member of the Committee on the Election of Judges to the European Court of Human Rights.

 In 2018, the Russian government sanctioned Usov for successfully pushing a derussification agenda in Ukraine and spearheading the ousting of the Russian delegation from the parliamentary assembly of the Council of Europe.
