As the aggressor-controlled “Sevastopol media” were recently forced to declare, another pretentious project of “improvement of Artillery Bay, which involves its development as a pedestrian zone”, previously advertised by the occupiers, ended in nothing.
The aggressor has been making these announcements since 2021, and the obvious practical goal of the “improvement” was the criminal “allocation” of a tasty coastal area in the city center for multi-storey development for the colonial occupiers.
Now the “transfer” became known due to the fact that for such “coast development” the occupiers had to either completely cancel the ferry used by the population from Artillery Bay to the North Side, or “move the ferry crossing to the South Bay”.
At the same time, “money for renovations” was promised within the framework of the so-called “agreement between the government of Moscow and the government of Sevastopol”. The occupiers promised to “hold an architectural competition, design the site and develop a project” by the end of 2023, with “completion of construction” in 2026.
Now the criminal “city department of transport” has stated that “none of these stages have been implemented due to lack of funds,” since “the source of funding for this event has not been determined, and therefore design work and estimates are not carried out”.
The real reasons for the cancellation, besides the classic “there is no money, but you hold on,” are obvious: for “some reason”, those wishing to purchase “elite real estate” in the center of occupied Sevastopol have become much smaller, and large-scale “infrastructure work” in the front-line city was also “rejected” by the aggressor’s military.
Thus, the occupiers were forced to postpone the destruction of Artillery Bay as the calling card of Sevastopol for an “indefinite period.”
