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.
In his welcoming speech, Odesa Mayor stressed that this year the holiday falls on a difficult period when Ukraine is repelling the russian occupiers and defending its right to freedom and independence.

"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.

🇬🇧A group of 7 large families with 23 children went on a comfortable bus from Odesa to Bern.
The Swiss side provides residents of Odesa with free housing and the necessary social support for the entire time they are in the country. In addition to social assistance, adults are granted the right to work in Switzerland, and children - to study. Free foreign language courses will be organized.

“We send families and children to where they will be safer. Our rabbi Avraham Wolf helps organize the entire trip, along with caring colleagues and friends. Families will live in complete prosperity and security - this is very important for us,” said the Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov.
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.
Previously, large families with children were centrally evacuated to the sister cities of Odesa, Regensburg and Genoa.

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.

All our partners agree that Ukraine's struggle in the war against Russia is the protection of the common values of all countries in the free world. Our common freedom. And if so, then we have the right to count on full and urgent assistance, especially weapons.
My every international negotiations, every address to parliaments or other foreign audiences is necessarily related to this topic.
And I am grateful to all those partners who help and provide us with the necessary weapons and ammunition to overcome the advantage of the Russian army, especially in the amount of equipment and weapons.

🇬🇧Today Odesa received another aid from its sister city of Marseille.

The Land Rover Defender ambulance will carry wounded soldiers and has already been handed over to the 126 Territorial Defense Brigade to work on the front lines.

“This medical vehicle can transport fighters in off-road conditions, which is extremely important. Grateful to Marseille for the constant help to Odesa,” commented Deputy Mayor Sergiy Tetyukhin.

🇨🇵Aujourd'hui, Odessa a reçu une autre aide de sa ville sœur de Marseille.

L'ambulance Land Rover Defender transportera des soldats blessés et a déjà été remise à la 126 brigade de défense territoriale pour travailler en première ligne.

«Ce véhicule médical peut transporter des combattants dans des conditions tout-terrain, ce qui est extrêmement important. Reconnaissant à Marseille pour l'aide constante à Odessa», a commenté le maire adjoint Sergiy Tetyukhin.

I am grateful to all the partners of Ukraine who help. But I emphasize again and again: the longer this war lasts, the greater will be the price of protecting freedom not only for Ukraine, but also for the whole free world.
Therefore, the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine - MLRS, tanks, anti-ship and other weapons - is the best investment in maintaining stability in the world and preventing many severe crises that Russia is still planning or has already provoked.

🇬🇧Since the beginning of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, Odesa has become a transit city for more than 21,000 Ukrainians who fled the rusian aggression. The Mayor of Odesa said this in the framework of the marathon "90th day of confrontation" on the Ukraine 24 TV channel.

According to the Mayor of Odesa, together with the leadership of Ukrazaliznytsia, comfortable conditions were created for the arriving people.
Trukhanov stressed that today more than 20 thousand refugees are registered in Odesa, who are provided with all the necessary assistance: resettlement, provision of food, clothing and basic necessities. In addition, a mechanism for their employment is being developed.

“Today the main task is to make these people feel safe, help them organize their lives and establish a normal life,” said Gennady Trukhanov.

Odesa Mayor also stressed that within the framework of the program of the President of Ukraine in Odesa, it is planned to begin construction of housing for IDPs.
