On September 19, at 7 a.m., his unofficial driver was at his place of residence, and he said that two days before, Odarchenko had asked him to drop him off in the central part of Kyiv, gave him his mobile phones because he asked to recharge them at home, and said that he would walk to the Verkhovna Rada and back. Since then, the driver has not seen him and does not know how to contact him, as all 3 of Odarchenko's cell phones are kept by the driver.
