Odessa in turmoil: ex-mayor Trukhanov under house arrest!
In a remarkable turn of events, a court in Ukraine has decided to place Hennady Trukhanov, the expatriate mayor of Odessa, under house arrest. This measure comes into force today, October 31, 2025, and is a response not only to its political role, but also to the tragic events that occurred following a flood event.
Trukhanov must now wear an electronic ankle bracelet as he defends himself against allegations of negligence in flood protection in Odessa. A severe storm on September 30 killed nine people in the city, bringing public safety into focus in the region. The mayor and other city administrators are suspected of failing to take the necessary security precautions, something Trukhanov vehemently denies. Radio Ennepe Ruhr reports that President Volodymyr Zelensky revoked the mayor's citizenship, which also removed him from office.
The political situation in Odessa
Odessa is now under military administration, led by Serhiy Lyssak, a former intelligence general. President Zelensky has emphasized in several statements that many security questions in the city remain unanswered. It is a complex situation, made even more difficult by the ongoing war in Ukraine. The country has been resisting the Russian invasion for more than three and a half years, and regular elections, even at the local level, are not possible due to martial law.
The events surrounding Trukhanov highlight the challenges facing Odessa and Ukraine in general. The loss of civil rights and political office due to allegations raises questions about accountability and safety in times of crisis.
Keep an eye on rental costs
Budgeting is essential to keep income and expenses under control. It is important to also take aspects such as moving costs and insurance into account. Many of the costs incurred often run under the radar, which can create great financial pressure. However, if you live in a shared apartment with friends, you have a good opportunity to share the rent and clearly regulate responsibilities.
