Can you provide a link on where you claim to have found this information.
He can not. At least for now. Ukrainian media quickly reported victims as Russian and Transdniestria citizens, but no identification of bodies was made, so Odessa police dismissed those claims. For now they identified only those 8 victims that didn't die in the building, but jumped from the windows: all of them are odessian locals.

The United States had interceded forcefully to prevent such agreement, once the Soviet Union had made its concession and it appeared that Japan might accede to the compromise. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, in a discussion with Foreign Minister Shigemitsu on August 19, had replied to a query as to the juridical effect of a Japanese acknowledgment of Soviet sovereignty over the Kuril Islands by threatening in that case to revoke the earlier American acknowledgment of Japanese residual sovereignty over Okinawa and Ryukyu Islands.""Northern territories" and beyond: Russian, Japanese, and American perspectives (James E.
