If you're familiar with the Andrew Tate story, then you know that the link between Trump, Paul Ingrassia and the Tate Brothers is Richard "Ric" Grenell, who is currently his interim advisor for the JFK Center. Grenell has spent an exhaustive amount of time in Romania lobbying for charge dismissal.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Back to Odesa region, the number injured here has climbed to ten.
If you were reading earlier you will know that two people were instantly killed when Russia fired a drone into a car being used to sell potatoes by a local.
This was the moment it happened. Terrifying sounds.

A third said they had been groped or touched in a way that made them feel uncomfortable, according to the Ministry of Defence, and two-thirds reported at least one form of sexual harassment or sexualised behaviour, proportions significantly higher than their male counterparts across the army, navy and air force.
