Another large-scale landslide in Sanzhiika, April 2025, screenshot from video media «Sea of people»The author of the video noted that since the beginning of the year — from January to April 2025 — at least three landslides have occurred in this part of the coast. In his opinion, if we do not try to solve the problem now, landslides will begin to destroy nearby houses in two years.
The situation there is currently dangerous — masses of soil are constantly slowly sliding down. A dirt road and several trees have been destroyed, and there are no warning signs about the danger. Local residents even make stairs in the landslides to get down to the sea, but it is very dangerous.
Subsequently, journalists from the Odesa-based media outlet «Sea of People» visited the site and also recorded a large-scale landslide. If no action is taken, Sanzhiika will continue to lose more than one kilometre of coastline, the Odesa edition writes.
As a reminder, in June 2024, rescuers from the State Emergency Service pulled a 59-year-old man out from under a landslide in the village of Sanzhiika, Odesa region.
In general, experts count more than 250 landslides on the outskirts of Odesa only for the period from 1797 to the present (before 1797, there is practically no true information about landslides on the coast in the vicinity of Kochubiivo-Khadzhibei), writes Odesa media «Intent».
