Recall
In early October, Odesa experienced heavy rains that claimed the lives of 9 people. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he had ordered a full investigation after the deaths of nine people due to bad weather in Odesa.
Also, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree regarding individuals confirmed to have Russian citizenship. Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov's Ukrainian citizenship was terminated based on materials from the Security Service of Ukraine.
On October 28, it became known that former Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov was served with a notice of suspicion – under Part 3 of Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (official negligence that caused the death of people).
Trukhanov stated that receiving the suspicion was a "complete surprise" for him. According to him, the tragedy that occurred as a result of the powerful downpour was a natural disaster, the scale of which exceeded the capabilities of the city's infrastructure.
