Kyiv, December 11 (PolitNavigator, Maxim Karpenko) – Odessa did not become a “hot spot” only thanks to the position of pro-Ukrainian forces, which on May 2 did not allow the separatists to organize a “Russian spring” there. Aleksey Goncharenko, a deputy from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc, a member of the Party of Regions under the previous government, stated this on the TV channel.

“The city is calm, there is no panic in the city. It is very important that, despite its peaceful nature, Odessa was the first city to repel the separatists. On the second of May in Odessa, when there was an attempt to disperse the pro-Ukrainian march and seize the Regional State Administration, it was stopped not by the police, not by the SBU, not by the National Guard, but by ordinary Odessa residents who went to the city center. And this is very important,” said Goncharenko.
