Today we paid our respects to Ruslan Borisovich Bodelan.

This marks a significant chapter. A dedicated individual who devoted himself to serving the city, region, and nation. His experience, determination, and commitment have left a lasting impact on the history of Odesa. He led the city during challenging times, making tough decisions while always prioritizing Odesa.

There was much to learn from him - his wisdom, resilience, and sense of responsibility. His example will forever remain in our hearts.

Today, all of Odesa mourns. The entire region grieves.

Sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

May he rest in peace.
