Former Russian President Medvedev told the world all Russia wants Odesa, a famously Russian-speaking city on Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, to “come home.” Deadly kamikaze drones hit hours later.
In a drama indicative of Ukraine’s judiciary problems, the anti-corruption court decided not to raise Odesa mayor Trukhanov’s bail amount, which prosecutors felt was too low.
Klitschko commented that Trukhanov is already the third mayor who was removed by the courts, which could be seen as anr attempt to oppress local self-government.
