Thus, UNN asked whether Odessa is under threat after the recent missile strikes in a residential area of the city and yesterday’s shelling of the region .
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi previously stated that the same tragedy could have happened in Odessa as in Mariupol, which is being destroyed by the occupiers.

“In order for this situation to happen (as in Mariupol – ed.), Russian troops need to break through Mykolayiv. And they must force the Southern Bug – then there is a chance to reach Odessa. And if a land group arrives, then it will be possible to land a naval landing “Although today, given the fact that we have disrupted almost half of the landing gear by an attack in Berdyansk, landing is very difficult,” said the expert.
“Therefore, for Odessa, on the contrary, I believe that today there is no such real threat that tomorrow it will be surrounded as Mariupol,” Zhdanov added.

Commenting on the words of the Head of State, he noted that theoretically anything is possible.
“The idea of the Russian troops was to reach Odessa from the North by land. Then a group of troops from Transnistria joined them, reinforced them, and landed from the sea. To siege Odessa on both sides would be realistic. But today neither the land nor the sea can be used by Russia as a platform for the attack on Odessa, “the interlocutor explained.
And yesterday morning the Russian occupiers from the occupied Crimea tried to strike a missile strike on the Odessa region. One missile fell into the water, the other was shot down by air defense units.
