Summary

Known as "the pearl of the Black Sea," Ukrainian city Odesa has borne the brunt of Russian missile attacks in the last few weeks. Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, nearly two thirds of the country’s exports and imports moved through Odesa’s ports. The city was also a thriving holiday destination and Ukrainians have flocked back to its beaches this summer. Reporting from Odesa, Christiane found out how important that is for people trying to soothe their trauma, including soldiers battling the physical and mental scars of war. She's joined by Odesa mayoral adviser Nikolai Viknyansky. Also on today's show: Moldova President Maia Sandu; Odesa restaurant owner Nika Lozovska; author Michael Eric Dyson To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
