Provocations are being prepared in Odesa for May 2 - SBU

Provocations are being prepared in the southern port city during the commemoration of the May 2 tragedy anniversary that took place in Odesa two years ago.

Advisor to the Chairman of the SBU Yuri Tandit told viewers of  TV Channel 5.

"The commemoration of the May 2, 2014 tragedy is used by provocateurs who are trying actually to cause distrust in the government and doing their best to organize activities on May 2, on the very day of the tragic events in 2014 that will be realized. But we will make every effort so that the city could live in peace," said Tandit.

Governor of the Odesa region Mikheil Saakashvili wrote on his Facebook, 300 servicemen from "Azov” regiment had already arrived in Odesa.
