🇬🇧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.

🇬🇧“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!

🇬🇧The presentation of the book "War" took place at the World Club of Odesans. These are poems and prose by Odessa authors, created in the first month and a half of the war.

The book presents the works of famous authors Evgeny Golubovsky, Vitaly Babuschak, Lyudmila Sharga, Anna Streminskaya, Elena Andreichikova, Anna Mikhalevskaya, Sergey Ryadchenko, Anna Kostenko and many others.

The voice of each of the thirty-five authors of this collection is unique and inimitable. But one thing unites everyone - a bare nerve, the severity of emotions, the emotional background of every day of the war, when during the day the mood fluctuates from "everything is lost" to "we will win soon."

The book was published in 300 copies.

🇬🇧Odesa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov gave an interview to the Austrian TV channel ORF. According to him, the lack of sufficient fuel, in the first place, affects the operation of public transport. Those buses of private companies that run on diesel and gasoline have already reduced the number of exits of their vehicles on the routes.

“Now a huge stress is put on the urban electric transport. Despite wartime, we are completing repairs at the intersection of Panteleymonovskaya and Preobrazhenskaya streets in an expeditious manner. This will allow us to bring our trams there and, accordingly, reduce the load on the routes,” said Gennady Trukhanov.

He also said that today the priority is refueling ambulances and emergency vehicles. As of now, all of them are provided with fuel.

🇬🇧We must learn to live in wartime and do everything to keep life going. This was stated by the Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, in an interview with the Austrian TV channel ORF.

“The danger is definitely there. Missile attacks, daily alarms - the war, alas, continues. But life must go on," said Gennady Trukhanov.

He pointed out that small and medium-sized businesses should work - subject to all the norms and restrictions of wartime.

“The President of Ukraine speaks about this, we all understand this - it is necessary to learn how to live in this difficult time, when the country is at war,” said the Mayor of Odesa.

🇬🇧“The truth is on our side! And where there is truth, there is victory,” said the Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, in an interview with the Italian edition of Doppiozero.

According to the Mayor of Odesa, the aggressor country was afraid to enter into conflict with those whom it actually considers the main opponent, and chose Ukraine as a “target for beating”. Gennady Trukhanov stressed that it was their mistake, and today it is obvious!

“They wanted to come to a young country, which, in their opinion, did not have time to form its armed forces, and show their strength. It turned out that they didn’t have any power,” said Gennady Trukhanov.

We remember Crimea. And we will never forget 1944 - the genocide of Crimean Tatars committed by the Soviet authorities. And 2014 - the second wave of destruction of everything free on the Crimean peninsula.
Especially on this day I signed the law on the protection of persons deprived of liberty by the occupiers, as well as on the protection of family members of such people. We are talking about all the Kremlin prisoners - both in Crimea and in the occupied part of Donbas. The law gives them more protection and assistance from the state.
