Odessa's mayor, Gennadiy Trukhanov, welcomed Bristol city council member Paul Hoggins, who arrived from the UK to celebrate Odessa's City Day.

This marks his second visit. This time, Paul Hoggins brought along a convoy of fire trucks, which have already been handed over to the local rescue services.

During the dialogue, the parties discussed the prospects for further cooperation between Odessa and Bristol, particularly regarding humanitarian aid and the supply of additional rescue equipment.
