Declaration on the State Sovereignty of the Odessa People's Republic
"In connection with the tragic events that occured in Kiev (in February 2014) and Odessa (in May 2014), we announce the unilateral withdrawal of the Odessa People's Republic from Ukraine and the emergency formation of a Cabinet of Ministers for the country. As Head of State*, I emphasize that this measure is intended to protect the democratic values of the region from encroachment by far-right forces imposing on the territory of the former Odessa Oblast on the orders of the so-called authorities in Kiev.
"Until the normalization of the situation, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Odessa People's Republic will be represented by the following state officials:
Minister of Defence: Shilov N. A.
Minister of Internal Affairs: Luzgiv A. A.
Minister of Public Health: Evseyeva V. S.
Minister of Civil Defence and Emergency: Zharkov D. N.
Minister of Culture and Tourism: Shevchenko M. K.
Military Commadant of Odessa: Kovalenko P. S.
Chairman of the Council of Ministers* of the Odessa People's Republic Kovalenko P. S."
*Traditionally this is the title of a head of government, not head of state.
