In Odesa, an audit of leased beach areas is ongoing to ensure compliance with operational standards, sanitary conditions, and public access for all citizens. 

Following the mayor's directive, a working group has been established that includes representatives from the local government, the Barrier-Free Council, and veterans. 

The primary goal of the group is to assess the level of accessibility, inclusivity, and free access to the beaches. 

On August 22, the group inspected the beaches of the Kyiv district. Members checked whether 30% of the leased area was allocated for public use; whether there were illegal fences or structures obstructing access; whether sanitary standards were met; whether facilities for persons with disabilities were provided; and whether there was free passage along the water's edge and between beach areas. 

During the inspection, violations were identified, including the placement of sun loungers near the water, which obstructs passage, and illegal temporary structures on the promenades. Lessees received directives for immediate rectification of the deficiencies. 

As a result of the audit, consolidated proposals will be prepared to enhance beach accessibility for the upcoming recreational season.
