She noted that alternative places for recreation can only be created taking into account safety recommendations.. The final decision will be made by local authorities, who will have to ensure compliance with the established rules.. The police may be involved in this by decision of the local administration..

Will it be possible to swim on the beaches in Odessa.

According to Gumenyuk, if we talk about swimming, then its safety must be ensured..

“That is, a collision with danger from the sea is excluded, a collision with sea mines is excluded. This requires more effort. When it comes to visiting beaches, it must be measured so as not to create crowds that cannot be provided with safety shelters or will not create the crowd that can occur during an emergency evacuation, ”she said.

Gumenyuk stressed that the sea remains mined. Despite the fact that the Russian military has moved away from positions at sea, they can resort to sabotage provocations and carry out missile strikes, often falling into the recreational zone of the Odessa region.

Earlier, Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov assessed the possibility of the Russian Federation to approach Odessa from the sea..
