The occupying authorities of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic have promised its residents a real beach resort by 2021. They are planning to completely reconstruct Siedove – the only seaside town on the Azov coast that is not controlled by the Ukrainian government.
The republic’s so-called minister of construction, housing, and communal service announced that project aims to expand the roadways, build a new bus station and refurbish the coastal area. However, the current situation leaves much to be desired. For example, the town only received a round-the-clock water supply at the start of the summer.
