In these difficult times it is important to remain calm. We need to do everything we can to Odesa remained peaceful town. As head of the region declare I will act, and acting under Ukrainian law. Encourage supporters and opponents of the authorities also act within the law. I'm in the workplace. In Kharkiv, there are no representatives of the Odesa region. The situation in the Odesa region generally calm and under control. Work all local executive authorities. The situation in the country is difficult.
