OdeSa or OdeSSa?

The name of the Ukrainian city in question - according to Wikipedia - in English is Odessa or Odesa, in Russian Одесса (Odessa), but in Bulgarian, Macedonian, Ruthenian, Serbian, Tuvan and Ukrainian - Одеса (Odesa), in Belarusian Адэса, Czech Oděsa, Silesian Uodesa, in Esperanto Odeso. Odesa is in Asturian, Basque, Bosnian, Breton, Croatian, Gagauz, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Serbo-Croatian, Turkmen and Wolapik. Thus, in several languages, the name of the city has only one S.

The proposed change will therefore not be revolutionary on a world scale, while the change of the Russian name to Ukrainian will be another gesture of solidarity with the Ukrainian nation after February 24, 2022 and it will be a departure from yet another Russian geographical name.
