Trukhanov also said that he was against the demolition of the monument

The mayor of Odessa , Gennady Trukhanov , announced the “necessity” of negotiations with the Russian Federation. In his opinion, Ukraine should allegedly look for compromises, speaking with representatives of the aggressor country, which constantly bombs our cities and kills civilians.
In an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera , he also stated that he opposed the demolition of the monument to Catherine.
“I think it is important to behave politically, the lives of millions of people are at stake. I do not want to be misunderstood. Obviously, I dream of returning to our borders in 1991, but it is necessary to negotiate step by step, gradually seek compromises, avoid confrontation “, – said Trukhanov.
The mayor of Odessa noted that the petition for the demolition of the monument to Catherine has already collected 25,000 signatures. But he is in no hurry to satisfy the desire of the Ukrainians.
“I am against the demolition of statues. Even if we destroy monuments, history does not change. I know that the petition has collected 25,000 signatures, but I’m waiting. According to this logic, should I also remove the monument to Pushkin or Gagarin? It does not make sense,” Trukhanov said.

I think this traitor needs locking up in a cold dark cell.
He is defending Russia’s invasion of Crimea…again…when he supports the Catherine statue because she invaded Crimea too. Someone should feed him his tongue so he can’t lie anymore.
I think he might be happier living somewhere else.
Leave Ukraine for Patriotic Ukrainians, not Arse licking appeasers or negotiators. There is no negotiation required when it comes to eradication of the katsup scum.
They can negotiate with the UN over how wide a DMZ they will accept so long as its a minimum 100 Miles, complete ban on Navy vessels ni the Black Sea, a size limit on any commercial vessel going into the Black Sea and similar restrictions to post WW” Germany and Japan.
Any russian appeasers or fans of negotiation should be permanently barred from public office.
WW2 not WW”

“but it is necessary to negotiate step by step, gradually seek compromises, avoid confrontation “, – said Trukhanov.
Way late on the confrontation thing, no compromise possible, aggressive step by step negotiations ongoing till orcs burn or leave.
Clearly, this dumbass has pro-ruskie tendencies. It’s dangerous for a country at war, having someone like him in his position. He should be put into prison for the sake of the people’s safety.
