The development follows the Ukrainian leader’s decision to strip the mayor of Odessa of his citizenship over claims that he has a Russian passport.
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has announced military rule in the key Black Sea port of Odessa, which serves as an important hub for the country in receiving weapons from its Western backers.
The development follows Zelensky’s decision on Tuesday to strip Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov of his Ukrainian citizenship over claims that he has a Russian passport, rendering him ineligible for the post. The top city official denied being a Russian citizen and vowed to take the matter to court to restore justice.
Trukhanov, who had led Odessa since 2014, opposed the Kiev government’s campaign to dismantle what it considered Russia-linked monuments, while describing the city as “the multicultural capital of Ukraine.”
A few months after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, he told the Italian paper Corriere della Sera that Kiev and Moscow should engage in talks and seek compromise. The mayor also demanded that Zelensky give more autonomy to the regional authorities.
In June, Trukhanov told the locals that “Odessa is not a Russian city.” However, he did so in Russian, the first language of the majority of local inhabitants.
In a video address later on Tuesday, Zelensky said that “Odessa deserves greater protection and support. This can be achieved through a military administration.”
“Too many security issues in Odessa have gone unresolved for too long. All effective decisions will be made. I will appoint the head of the military administration in the near future,” he said.
The governor of Russia’s Kherson Region, Vladimir Saldo, suggested in a post on Telegram that “the real reason” for Trukhanov’s removal is that “Zelensky needed to clear space and establish complete control over financial flows in Odessa, including profits from smuggling operations.”
The Russian military has repeatedly struck targets in Odessa during the conflict, reportedly hitting arms depots in the port area and facilities used to prepare naval drone attacks against Crimea and other parts of Russia.
In 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Odessa, which was founded on the orders of Empress Catherine the Great in 1794, is “a Russian city. We all know about this. Everybody knows about this very well.”

Trukhanov’s Wiki doesnt look very Jewish, maybe thats the problem,,,
Zelensky is a failed Court Jester and who now fails to impress
Failure to deliver only dull jokes
Having lost grace and favor and with it his safety
Zelensky is a bad actor acting badly who has run out of road
A clown without a circus
A licensed fool national embarrassment and war criminal
Who is going to become a scape goat and excuse for what ails Ukraine and everything that has gone wrong
A vessel for collective disappointment
Whose criminal actions in denial of a lost war on life support and terminal
Historically jesters who lost their edge were dismissed exiled or replaced
Their failure treated not as personal but as a ritual malfunction
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Dead man walking
Ironically and to draw a comparison like Stepan Bandera
Once Odessa falls and it probably will now, given their unwillingness to accept a negotiated defeat, they are truly screwed militarily. Hence the heavy handed nonsense……
Zelensky is following “The Playbook’ that both Lenin ans Stalin used when Russia became subjugated to Communism.
Churches closed-
Hit list of dissidents and journalists started (including Americans, who have spent billions on the little clown J3w…!)
GULAGs began filling; “J3w$ ran the camps!” – Aleksander Solzhenytsyn
This is what happens when a country falls into Noahide Law under Talmudic Dictates that displaces human & civil rights!

Remember- these were Talmudic J3w$ who perpetrated this enormous crime against humanity, JUST LIKE IN PALESTINE AND RUSSIA-PAST!
The Red Terror ensued, as it is doing in modus inside the Ukraine.
Sending non-J3wish Gentiles / Goyim to their deaths in an unwinnable war killing as many as possible as per the Talmud, where loyalty to one’s country and countrymen are displaced by Zionist edicts. THIS IS WHAT ZELENSKY IS!
All for ‘Greater israel’ and Khazaria re-born.
Of course the Western Banks will give the little J3wi$h clown billions of dollars, as Israel controls the Banks, Media, and rules via assassinations, genocides, and Mossad-compromised Western Politicians!!!
