Until this moment, Serhiy Lysak held the position of the head of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Zhytomyr region, and later led the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration. Now he will be responsible for the work of the Odessa city military administration.

In addition, President Zelensky made the decision to revoke the citizenship of Ukraine from the mayor of Odessa, Gennadiy Trukhanov, due to the presence of a Russian passport and violations of constitutional norms. According to the SBU, Trukhanov has been a citizen of Russia since 2015, which became a significant argument for this decision.
