I have met with the commander of the 3rd mechanised battalion of the 28th separate mechanised brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign, Volodymyr Luzhetskyi, and his comrades-in-arms. The city has already provided assistance to this brigade for more than UAH 138 million.
Currently, the brigade is defending Ukraine in a very difficult area of Donetsk and we need to be with our Odesa soldiers. We have received a request for another aid, which we will promptly process.
This year, we have already allocated UAH 206 million 093 thousand from the city budget to help the defence forces, including UAH 10 million to the 28th Brigade. Last year, Odesa transferred almost UAH 1.42 billion to help our defenders. We continue to work and help!

Very substantive negotiations with the United States of America. I had a conversation with President Trump – a good and detailed discussion; I am grateful to the President for his genuine interest in our shared opportunities, in how we can work together to bring real peace closer. It was a long conversation. We discussed many aspects – diplomatic, military, economic – and President Trump informed me of what Putin had told him. We believe that America's strength is sufficient to pressure Russia and Putin into peace, together with us, together with all our partners.

The Odesa City Council will appeal to the Antimonopoly Committee to counter monopolisation in the pharmaceutical market.
Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov held a meeting on ensuring the availability of medicines with the participation of:
- the city Department of Health and Municipal Enterprise Odespharm ;
- representatives of the pharmaceutical market and medical institutions of the city;
- the State Service for Medicines and Drug Control in thevOdesa region ;
- members of the city and regional councils.
The meeting was convened to analyse the pricing of medicines. Oleg Kiper, Head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, spoke about high markups in pharmacy chains, abuses and non-transparent pricing mechanisms at a working meeting convened on 11 February pursuant to paragraph 6 of the decision of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine of 4 February 2025
📈Participants of the pharmaceutical market noted, and the State Service confirmed, that the average markup of pharmacy chains is 14%. The retail market is highly competitive. The activities of pharmacies are transparent, and the cost of medicines is available to any Internet user on open marketplaces.
💸The price of medicines is formed by the manufacturer of medicines in accordance with the cost price, and further sales of goods to pharmacy chains are made through distributors. According to the participants of the meeting, currently 93% of the drug market is divided between two wholesalers.
🗣️Government programmes provide significant support to the population. In Odesa, the Affordable Medicines programme is successfully operating: all pharmacies participating in the programme are fully supplied with medicines, and the goods arrive on time, as well as the funds from the NHZU. Odesa Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov instructed Levon Nikoghosyan, Head of the Department of Health, to once again inform family doctors about the need to offer patients the benefits of this and other programmes.
It was also decided to conduct an analysis of pricing and prepare an appeal to the Antimonopoly Committee regarding the abuse of monopoly power by drug distributors.

The historical and toponymic commission of the City Council has just recommended renaming Serednya Street in the Khadzhybey district in honour of Oleksandr Svishch, a soldier of the 3rd separate assault brigade who died defending Ukraine.
Oleksandr Svishch took part in the defence of Kyiv, the liberation of Kherson, and battles in the Zaporizhzhia and Bakhmut areas. He was awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine (posthumously) for his courage.
The decision is yet to be made by the City Council.

Today, I also received reports from our military – very important reports. There’s a good result on the frontline. It’s not appropriate to mention specific locations. I won’t turn this into politics, but I want to thank the guys from the 425th Separate Assault Regiment – your strength truly matters. Well done!
I also just spoke with Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi – we must strengthen our Air Force, particularly its aviation component – our military aviation. I instructed the Commander-in-Chief to discuss this with Brigadier General Serhii Holubtsov and report back on a possible personnel change in the Air Force, including the consideration of appointing General Holubtsov as Deputy Commander of the Air Force.
Glory to Ukraine!
