🇬🇧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.

🇬🇧The Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, held an online meeting with the Mayor of Venice, Italy, Mr. Luigi Brugnaro.

The Mayor of Venice proposed to conclude partnership relations between the cities and invited Gennady Trukhanov to a holiday in Venice.

“I was in Odesa about 20 years ago and I really liked your city. Looking at the architecture and the inhabitants of Odesa, I felt at home,” Mr. Brugnaro said.

Gennady Trukhanov thanked his Italian colleague for the partnership offer and invitation: “This is a great honor for Odesa. At this time, when our country is at war, the help of our European friends is extremely important. Today we are dealing with issues that are not in the competence of the Mayor's office in peacetime: support for the military, defending the city. Therefore, after our Victory, I will definitely come to Venice to get to know you personally,” Trukhanov replied.

🇬🇧Official message of the Operational Command "South":

As a result of an enemy missile strike at one of the infrastructure facilities in the Odesa region, a fire broke out and rescuers are working on the scene. There are no threats to the life and health of the civilian population in the nearby settlements.
Don't panic.
Trust the official sources.

We invite the partner countries to sign a multilateral agreement and create a mechanism through which each and every one who has suffered from Russia's actions will be able to receive compensation for all losses. Under such an agreement, Russian funds and property under the jurisdiction of partner countries must be seized or frozen, and then confiscated and directed to a specially created fund from which all victims of Russian aggression can receive appropriate compensation. That would be fair. And Russia will feel the true weight of every missile, every bomb, every projectile it has fired at us.

🇬🇧Europe Day is celebrated on the third Saturday of May in Ukraine. The Mayor of Odesa congratulated Odesa residents and all Ukrainians on the holiday.

"We protect not only the territory and the population, but also the values ​​- European values, which have always been focused on Ukrainian society: freedom, democracy, mutual respect, unity. At the moment, we are demonstrating every minute that for us it is not just slogans, but actions!” Trukhanov said.

Gennady Trukhanov also pointed out that since its foundation, Odesa has always been and is a European city: "Ukraine, Odesa and Europe have always been, are and will be one. So I am sure that we have a great victory and a great future ahead of us! Glory to Ukraine!".

🇬🇧Odesa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov held a meeting with the General Director of World Central Kitchen Ink. Mr Nathan Mook.

Since the first days of the war, the WCK has been actively providing humanitarian assistance to the cities of Ukraine. Almost all regional centers are included in the company's support program. Every day more than 70-80 trucks cross the Ukrainian border with food, hygiene items, baby food.

“Odesa is one of the most prepared and organized cities. Thanks to the management and your wonderful team. We are honored to support you and the people of Ukraine at this time,” said Mr. Mook.

The organization has been cooperating with the city since March 14, 2022. As of May 20, the city received 15 wagons and 10 trucks of a variety of canned food.

“We have organized a completely transparent accounting of goods. Therefore, you can be sure that we are reliable partners. Huge gratitude from the city, from the soldiers and officers. From all those whom you help,” Trukhanov said.

The war continues. It is not over. We still need to fight and move towards victory.

Maybe someone in the rear cities thinks that one can forget about the war. And become carefree. Or even careless. No.

Every day Ukrainians die for our independence. And each and every one of us must take care of our defense on a daily basis. With anything they can. In a way they can.

I believe that soon Ukrainians and Poles will gather at one big table to share this bread. Share the feelings - the most important feelings - of peace. Share the taste of victory. Victory of Ukraine. Joint victory. And raise a toast to your and our freedom. Without a free Ukraine, there can be no free Poland. I know historians often argue about who was the first to say this, who was the author of this phrase. We have resolved this dispute - this is the will of the Ukrainian and Polish nations.
Thank you brothers! Together until the end.

I am glad to note that Ukrainian-Polish relations are finally on a completely clean, sincere basis, without any quarrels and old conflict heritage. This is an achievement. The historical achievement of our nations. And I want the brotherhood between Ukrainians and Poles to be preserved forever. As I said about this today to the deputies: for our unity, the unity of Ukrainians and Poles, to be a constant value that no one will violate.

World Economic Forum in Davos.
We need to create a global structure that can provide sufficient support within 24 hours for any country that has suffered a military attack, natural disaster or pandemic. This is a new format of security guarantees. Based on what we went through. What we are going through now. There must be something that sets a precedent of absolutely timely assistance. To everyone who needs it. To preserve peace, to preserve life, to preserve social stability.
