President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed information about the creation of the Odessa City Military Administration.
He said this in a video message.
Zelensky noted that today he had a conversation that concerned frontline and southern communities, including Odessa.
“Odesa deserves greater protection and greater support. This can be done in the format of a military administration,” the president explained.
According to him, many security issues in Odessa currently remain unanswered. He assured that all effective solutions will be adopted.
Zelensky also noted that he will soon appoint the head of the city’s military administration.
We will remind, in response to the petition to create the Odessa MBA, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he had sent letters to Syrsky and Kiper with a request to take appropriate response measures if there are legal grounds.
As it became known, Serhiy Lysak, who headed the Dnipropetrovsk OVA, will probably be appointed head of the Odessa City Military Administration .
