Odessa Resident Expresses Concerns Over Coastal Fortifications and Military Presence Odessa, Ukraine – A recent video posted online highlights concerns among residents of Odessa regarding the increasing number of coastal fortifications and the presence of military personnel in residential areas. The video, filmed by a local woman, shows concrete barriers along the coast and soldiers near homes. The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, expressed apprehension about the impact of these measures on daily life and the potential limitations on freedom of movement. "It’s unsettling to see so many soldiers around," she said in the video. "It feels like our freedom is being restricted." The video has sparked discussions online about the balance between security and civil liberties during times of conflict. While the military presence is understandable given the ongoing war, the woman’s concerns reflect a broader sentiment among some residents about the impact on their daily lives.
