#Odesa

Some might wonder how anyone in a country at war could think about lying on a beach. The truth is, they need it more than most.

The Russian army has once again shelled the city of Odesa, located on the Black Sea coast. This time, one of the city’s most recognizable symbols came under attack — Privoz Market, one of the two most famous markets in Odesa, with a history stretching back nearly 200 years.

A wave of Russian drone strikes hit multiple Ukrainian cities on July 7, killing two people and injuring dozens. The attacks caused fires and destruction across Kharkiv and Odesa, including damage to residential buildings, schools, and transport infrastructure.
