In front of the barricade blocking the entrance to the house, in Odessa, a soldier, his wife and their daughter hug each other as they reluctantly separate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It’s a painful scene from the daily life of a city known as the “pearl of the Black Sea” – still at peace but ready for war<\/p>\n

“We are building barricades, we are welding anti-tank barriers, fortifying the city, making plans. The city has turned into a fortress. I am obviously worried that there is a possibility that (the Russians) will decide to attack Odessa, capture it. However there is hope that this may not even happen<\/em>“, Said the mayor Gennadiy Roukhanov.<\/p>\n

While Diana Krainova, employee of the National Guard in Odessa, said:<\/p>\n

“It’s very painful to see all this because I have lived here almost all my life.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Authorities estimate that at least 60% of Odessa’s population has fled to safer places in the east, or beyond Ukraine;<\/p>\n
