Odesa has been attacked several times since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began more than a year ago. The port city is strategically located and is important for the export of grain.
Since January, the historic center of Odesa is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The UN organization decided this after Ukraine nominated parts of the city, often called the pearl of the Black Sea, as World Heritage in October.
