Zelensky announces creation of military administration in Odesa

As reported by Ukrinform, the President announced this in his evening video address.

“Odesa deserves greater protection and greater support. This can be done in the format of a military administration – too many security issues in Odesa have remained without an adequate response for far too long. All effective decisions will be made. I will appoint the head of the military administration shortly,” Zelensky said.

As Ukrinform previously reported, on October 14, President Volodymyr Zelensky revoked the Ukrainian citizenship of Odesa Mayor Hennadii Trukhanov, former MP Oleh Tsariov, and ballet dancer Serhii Polunin.
