For Ukrainians living with the constant threat of war, ordinary peacetime pleasures like a summer vacation can seem irresistible.
Thats why thousands are willing to risk being exposed to Russian attacks for a visit to Odesa, a resort city along the Black Sea coast.
The city has been hit by Russian drones and shells, but Ukrainian visitors say the risks are no different than what they routinely face in their own hometowns.
We're from Kharkiv, so we're used to it, one young tourist told Current Time. We get hit every day. In Odesa, she said, we knew it might be scary. But we need a break.
