Landslides also ruin mansions in an elite part of Chernomorsk town near Odesa. Two houses cracked just over the weekend. Building experts explain that new houses were built too close to the sea. The slopes here have not been stabilized, and the soil is virtually all sand.

As a result, during rainy periods the soil moves actively and causes erosions. Construction of real estate on the beach is forbidden, however it never stopped the developers. Despite continued danger of more landslides, local citizens say that a new eight-storey hotel is being built right along the coastline.
