Mariupol's Beaches: A Glimpse of Normalcy Returns

Mariupol's Beaches See a Return to Summer Life Mariupol, Ukraine – May 28, 2025 – The sounds of waves lapping the shore and children playing are once again heard on Mariupol's beaches. A recent video posted online shows a peaceful scene of everyday life, a stark contrast to the devastation the city endured. The video, shot on May 27th, depicts pigeons foraging on the sand near a newly rebuilt calisthenics area, while beachgoers relax in the sun. The video's creator, known only as "Жизнь в Мариуполе," captures a sense of normalcy returning to the city. "It's good to see people enjoying themselves again," says a local resident in an interview. The video, while short, offers a hopeful symbol of Mariupol's ongoing recovery and resilience.
