''It is the bloodiest day since the beginning of the war for Odessa'', where today a double Russian missile attack launched with ''a diabolical strategy'' caused the death of at least 19 people, while another 76 wounded remain hospitalized in hospital, of which 10 are in critical condition. ''An attack in broad daylight'' which we ''did not expect'' in Odessa, but which ''is not random'' because it is part of ''Putin's political marketing on the first day of the Russian elections to show that he is fearsome . It's gangster language: I command respect because I attack my enemies''. Ugo Poletti, director of the English-language online newspaper 'The Odessa Journal', explains this to Adnkronos, underlining that while Odessa mourns its dead, at the same time it strengthens its determination to resist, because ''dramas like today's will not lead Ukrainians to raise the white flag, but they will increase their will not to be subjugated''.
Poletti recalls in particular ''the former vice mayor of the city who in November had given up his position as a public official and had enlisted to help the population''. He was among the victims of the second attack, the one launched against the rescuers. ''Odessa has never had such a bloodbath'', says Poletti, explaining that the tragedy was exacerbated by the fact that, ''after a first attack with missiles launched from Crimea against a residential neighborhood south of the historic centre, where there was a high probability of causing casualties, there was a second one in the same place. A textbook terrorist tactic to also target rescuers''. And so it was, ''among the dead there are doctors, paramedics and people from the emergency service'', explains the entrepreneur.
