🇬🇧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.

🇬🇧The issue of accepting Odesa to the main UNESCO World Heritage List was raised even before the war. But now this issue is especially relevant, since there is a real threat of destruction of urban architectural monuments. The Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, said this in an interview with a journalist from the Austrian TV channel ORF.

According to the Mayor of Odesa, the first step was taken in 2009 - Odesa was included in the UNESCO preliminary list. Today a working group has been created and the applications have been updated.

“We are supported by almost all sister cities, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, the Prime Minister of Italy, the Minister of Culture of Italy, we are supported in Austria and Germany. Everyone sent letters to UNESCO so that Odesa gets on the main list,” said Gennady Trukhanov.

🇬🇧On May 17, the Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, delivered a video message at the congress of the ruling New Democracy party of Greece.
The congress was chaired by the leader of the party and the Prime Minister of Greece, Mr. Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Among those invited are the leaders of the ruling parties in Europe and the leadership of the European Union.

Gennady Trukhanov thanked the leadership of Greece and representatives of the Greek diaspora for the comprehensive support of Odesa and lobbying the interests of our city in the issue of including the historical center of Odesa in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

“Greece and Odesa are historically inextricably linked. We honor this history, an example of this is the Filiki Eteria museum in Odesa, where the Greek revolution began. We really appreciate that you are protecting our common heritage. And I will be sincerely glad to see all those present in our city - after the Victory of Ukraine over the occupiers," said Gennady Trukhanov.

🇬🇧A couple of days ago, 50 children from large families departed to Genoa. The Mayor of Odesa Gennady Trukhanov came to see off the residents of Odesa.

“We are cooperating with the municipality of our sister city Genoa, which has been helping us with humanitarian aid since the first days of the war. Today they are ready to accept our families with many children, who will be safe there,” Trukhanov said.

The Mayor thanked the leadership of Genoa, as well as the Ambassador of Odesa in Italy, Attilio Malliani, who organized the relocation of Odesa families to Genoa.

Odesa is a part of Ukraine. And the key reason for the inevitable defeat of the aggressor is the refusal to see the real situation. Oleg Bryndak, Acting Deputy Mayor of Odesa, in an interview with a journalist from the Morning of February channel.

According to Bryndak, the main mistake of putin, markov and other fans of the "special operation" is to believe that Odesa will meet the invaders as liberators with a loaf of bread.

“Now there is a different generation, a different worldview, the colonial past is over. In Odesa as well. As much as they don't want to admit it. Odesa does not belong to the empire and the “russian world,” Oleg Bryndak said.

🇬🇧“This is another blatant lie! Moreover, from official sources,” said the Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, commenting on the fake that has been voiced by the official representative of the russian foreign ministry, maria zakharova, “about the deployment of military equipment on the territory of the Odesa film studio.”

The Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, together with the director of the Odesa film studio, Andryi Osipov, toured the entire territory of the enterprise, where, according to zakharova, "military equipment is located." Odesa Mayor streseed that there are no equipment or weapons on the territory of the film studio, and the invaders bring only lies, aggression, destruction and death. According to him, “we don’t buy this in Odesa.”

“We, in Odesa, are already sick of your daily lies, the lies that you spread about our beautiful Odesa, Ukraine as a whole and about our people,” Gennady Trukhanov said.

The first trial in Ukraine against a Russian war criminal has already begun. And it will end with the full restoration of justice within the international tribunal. I'm sure of it. We will find and bring to justice all those who give and carry out criminal orders.
