And moreover, Russia doesn’t need Odessa. Sevastopol is the main port for the Black Sea Fleet and between it and Novorossiysk Russia already has two major ports on the Black Sea.

He needs Odessa to break the ” blockade of Transnistria”. Check it out on the map. Odessa is easier to grab and hold. Otherwise Putin needs to take and hold all of Southern Ukraine for a land route. Much easier to grab just Odessa and then he’ll have a port city.
