08:00

A year ago, inhabitants of Odesa were preparing for the arrival of Russian ships on the city’s coast. Although Moscow didn’t end up seizing the city, it has succeeded in heavily reducing the port’s activities, which are regarded as the seaside resort’s ‘economic lungs’ on the Black Sea.The tourists are no longer coming, and the daily lives of inhabitants that stayed on now beat to the rhythm of air-raid sirens and power cuts.A report from southern Ukraine’s port city.
