Original Note:
Odesa and Odessa. The version with a double -s is outdated. It’s a Russian translation of the city name, which simply spread worldwide. A few years ago, however, the UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names decided that the Ukrainian version should be official, which is Odesa. https://whichiscorrect.com/odessa-or-odesa/
