The head of the Odesa Regional Council, Hryhoriy Didenko, has ordered preparations for the next plenary session of the council to begin.

The relevant order was published by the press service of the regional council.

In particular, the plan for preparing the session was approved, according to which the plan will be communicated to the Odesa Regional Military Administration on October 21 to receive proposals for the draft agenda of the plenary meeting of the regional council session with a corresponding letter.

The last date for the adoption of draft decisions of the regional council for consideration at the plenary meeting of the regional council session is November 4. Consideration of draft decisions received by the regional council at meetings of the standing committees of the regional council is scheduled for November 12-28. The actual meeting of the deputies will be convened on December 4.

The previous meeting of the regional council was held on September 12. The deputies also requested that the title of Hero of Ukraine be awarded with the Order of the Golden Star (posthumously) to Colonel Konstantin Oborin (call sign "Kamikaze"). They also approved a list of the second type of jointly owned objects of territorial communities of villages, towns, and cities in Odesa Oblast to be leased without an auction - the premises in the building of Odesa Oblast Council No. 2 at 83 Kanatna Street and the List of jointly owned objects of territorial communities in the Oblast to be privatized - 18 objects.

On the eve of that session, the chairman of the regional council , Hryhoriy Didenko , became involved in a corruption scandal: the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine granted the application of the prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and arrested an apartment and non-residential premises owned by Yulia Didenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament and the wife of the chairman of the regional council. On August 26, the prosecutor's office appealed to the court to declare the assets of the MP, her husband, mother Lyubov Syrota and brother Kostyantyn Syrota unjustified.
