🇬🇧Another group of large families will depart from Odesa to another country - this time, to Switzerland.
Temporary protection for large families in Odesa is carried out at the initiative of the World Jewish Congress and with the support of the State Secretariat for Migration of Switzerland, as well as the Odesa City Council.
From the leadership of the country, residents of Odesa are guaranteed accommodation and the necessary social support.
On the eve of departure to Bern, the Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, met with parents and children.

"We are united in our desire to ensure the safety of our children. Particular attention is paid to large families. Our task is to organize everything as safely, comfortably and in an organized manner as possible," the Mayor said.

He also reminded that a few days ago a number of large families left Odesa for Genoa, where they were already met and accommodated.

🇬🇧It is simply impossible to do worse than Putin did for his people and for relations with neighbors that have developed historically. This was stated by the Mayor of Odesa Gennady Trukhanov in an interview with CNN.

According to him, firstly, this is due to the fact that the president of the aggressor country does not hesitate by any methods in achieving his goals.

“The occupiers don’t give a damn about the civilian population, the loss of life, the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Apparently, they believe that "the war will write off everything, military losses." They have nothing sacred,” said Gennady Trukhanov.

Open dialogue with students of major American universities about choice. The main choice that everyone makes in their life when choosing the answer to the question of who they are.

Ukraine has made its choice. Our state will never be a victim again. It will not be just an observer of life - including its own life. We can, want to and will be subjects in life. This is where our strength comes from, our strong desire for the freedom we are fighting for.

A difficult day. But this day, like all others, is aimed precisely at saving our country and our people. Regarding the situation in Mariupol. Thanks to the actions of the Ukrainian military - the Armed Forces of Ukraine, intelligence, the negotiating team, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations, we hope that we will be able to save the lives of our guys. Among them are the seriously wounded, they are being provided with medical aid. I want to emphasize: Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes alive. This is our principle. I think that every adequate person will understand these words.

🇬🇧I dream that Odesa will become a real intercultural capital of our country: the port accepted international cruise liners from all over the world, the Odesa International Airport worked and received airliners from all over the world. I want everyone to unite around one goal - to make Odesa even better. The Mayor of Odesa said this in an interview with Doppiozero.

“I would like “everyone in Odesa to feel at home”. So that we all work for the good of our native city - each in his own place,” said Gennady Trukhanov.

🇬🇧At night, 2 more cruise missiles were detected in the inoperative bridge across the Dniester estuary for more than two weeks. The bridge is so damaged that repair work will take a long time and finances. But, at present, all this is impossible, as well as the operation of the bridge.

Operational Command "South"

🇬🇧“putin invented a story about Ukraine that was going to attack russia,” the Mayor of Odesa said in an interview with a journalist from the Italian edition of Doppiozero.

This is the tale that he “infected” his neighbor, the "father", and now they are together trying to “feed” it to their peoples.

“Telling tales to your people is for the weak and cowardly people,” said Gennady Trukhanov.

Cannes International Film Festival. I recalled the words of the hero played by Chaplin, which sounded from the screens in 1940: “The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…”

Since then - since those words of the hero played by Chaplin - mankind has produced many beautiful movies. It seemed that everyone already understood that one can conquer people with the beautiful, gathering them near the screens, and not with the ugly, gathering them in bomb shelters.
It seemed that everyone already believed that the horror in the form of a full-scale war that could cover the entire continent would not have continuation.
But again, as then, there is a dictator. Again, as then, there is a war for freedom. Again, as then, it is necessary for cinematography not to be dumb.

In 1944, expelling the Crimean Tatars from their land, the then torturers were convinced that none of the displaced would return home, to Crimea.
Now, trying to occupy Ukraine and destroy our lives, the current torturers of the people were also convinced that everything would work out for them and that we would not be able to endure it.
And we endured. And we are struggling to bring life back to every corner of our home. And we are coming back.

Eternal memory to all victims of the genocide of the Crimean Tatar people!
