“It will be a military crime. It will be a historical crime”he declared, on the eleventh day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the AFP news agency reported.
The Russian military continues to advance into southern Ukraine from the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.
About a million people live in Odessa, located on the Black Sea. Its population speaks Ukrainian and Russian and in it there are Bulgarian and Jewish minorities.
Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine on February 24 from three fronts.
Since then, the forces of the southern front have been trying to cut off Ukraine’s access to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
Last week, Russian troops took Khersona port city of 290,000 people located on the shores of the Black Sea, some 200 kilometers east of Odessa, in its biggest achievement so far since the start of the invasion.
An attack on Odessa would extend the offensive further west, not far from the border with moldovaa country in which Russia already has a military presence in the Russian-speaking enclave of Transnistria.
