Kyiv Court Orders 24-Hour House Arrest for Ex-Odesa Mayor Trukhanov in Floods Case

The measure stems from a probe into alleged negligence during Odesa’s September 30 floods that left nine people dead.

Overview

  • Pecherskyi District Court in Kyiv ordered round-the-clock house arrest with an electronic bracelet for Hennadii Trukhanov until December 28, 2025.
  • The ruling bars him from leaving the city without permission, contacting witnesses, or using travel documents, which he must surrender to authorities.
  • National Police said on October 29 that notices of suspicion were served to Trukhanov and other officials over alleged official negligence tied to the deadly flooding.
  • Investigators allege he failed to ensure proper maintenance of Odesa’s drainage system and to warn residents about the emergency risk on September 30.
  • Trukhanov denies wrongdoing, calls the case a political diversion, plans to appeal within five days, and continues to dispute President Zelenskyy’s earlier move to strip his citizenship over an alleged Russian passport.
