However, a spokesperson noted that recreational areas on the coast will function, according to safety rules. For example, a swimming po in a recreation area should be installed at a safe distance from the sea. Also, the facility must comply with safety rules when an air raid alarm is sounded, otherwise, according to Bratchuk, it will be closed.

"Speaking about the economy of Odesa region, there must be budget revenues. There will be no tourist season, but there will be a vacation season. We will take into account last year's experience. There will be no dancing on bones, but we will create safe places for recreation with specially implemented safety rules," Bratchuk said.

The spokesperson also reminded that last year there were many tragic deaths cases and injuries on the coast because of mine explosions.

"I don't want hands, feet and heads of Odesa residents and visitors to fly over the sea or beaches. We had many tragic incidents, so all measures will be taken to protect pele," emphasized Bratchuk.
