Last year, after the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the day of the tragedy was not celebrated in Odessa for the first time since 2014. To avoid provocations, a very long curfew was announced in the city, which lasted from the evening of May 1 to the morning of May 3.. This year we decided not to take such drastic measures..

“Law enforcement officers will do everything to ensure law and order and safety of residents and guests of the city on the day of the ninth anniversary of the May 2 events in Odessa.

We urge everyone to treat temporary restrictions with understanding, not to neglect danger signals, to avoid crowds of people," Head of the GUNP in the Odessa region Ivan Zhuk.

Earlier, the head of the Joint Coordinating Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces, Natalya Gumenyuk, suggested that the Russian military could time a massive missile attack on Odessa to coincide with the anniversary of the tragedy in the House of Trade Unions. Last year, it was on May 2 that the occupiers hit the city with rockets..
