Quote: "Access to Black Sea beaches and forests in Mykolaiv Oblast will be prohibited by the military due to the threat of mines, and I agree with that. But inland waters will be open for leisure activities in the summer."

Details: Kim stressed that areas of the oblast where there have been no hostilities and there is no threat of mines will be open for recreation.

Some areas have been chosen as locations for physical and psychological rehabilitation, and they are being prepared to accept visitors. Residents of neighbouring oblasts will also be invited to these areas.

Background: About 10% of Mykolaiv Oblast has been mined.
