How Odessa is preparing for provocations on the anniversary of the tragedy of May 2: photo and video

On Thursday, May 2, mass events related to the fifth anniversary of the events that took place in Odessa in 2014 will be held in the center of Odessa, and hundreds of police officers will ensure the safety of those present.

This is reported by the press service of the police.

So, on Kulikovo Pole and Soborna square people will honor the memory of those killed in the House of trade unions. Bomb technicians have already checked both places for the presence of dangerous objects. Also traffic is limited in close proximity to these locations.

Entrance to the event venues is possible only through filtration points. This is due solely to the task of preventing violations of public order and threats to life and health.

"We ask to accept temporary restrictions with understanding, not to violate a public order and strictly to observe regulations of the current legislation, - the head of Department of preventive activity of General Directorate of the National Police Ivan Ishchenko addressed the inhabitants of Odessa and guests of the city. - Remember the responsibility for the use of symbols of the Communist and Nazi totalitarian regimes."
