They spelled Odessa wrong.

When Zelensky came to power, he ordered the re-Romanization of all Ukraine cities and place names. This is why Zeepers always write "Kyiv," even though "Kiev" has been in use for hundreds of years. The same with "Odesa" and "Odessa."

When posting tonight, I looked up Expresso TV and came across a Wikipedia article (excerpt below). I know Wikipedia is, according to a founder of Wiki, CIA controlled, but I still use it for some biographical info.

Anyway, the history of Expresso TV is short but has a few colorful details. First, it was established the year the CIA put into action its plan to overthrow Ukraine and install puppets, so I don't know how independent it is or is not.

History

On 22 January 2014, a journalist of Espreso TV Dmytro Dvoychenkov was kidnapped, beaten, and taken to an unknown location. He was later released.[7]

Cyber attacks

On February 19, 2024, at around 7:30 p.m., unknown hackers gained access to the broadcast signal of the Espreso TV channel.

The attackers broadcast a short footage of destroyed Ukrainian cities and a video of Joe Biden falling and stumbling with a call to stop, hinting at the alleged involvement of the United States in the war in Ukraine.[8][9]

On December 16, 2024, at around 12:50 p.m., attackers gained unauthorized access to the TV channel’s server and tried to broadcast a video with a fake appeal from Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Russian.

I wouldn’t worry too much as it looks like the Neocons and Europeans agree that those cities will revert to their old names.
