Edition "Oh Sea" is a guide to the Ukrainian coast from "Abo" agencies. Previously, the team helped tourists plan trips to the Ukrainian sea and inspired them to travel abroad. A year after being stopped due to the full-scale invasion of Russia, "O, More" restarted with the hope of the return of the free south and the Ukrainian sea.
