The city of Berdyansk is located on the territory controlled by the troops of the Russian Federation and the city is administered by the Military-Civilian Administration controlled by Russia. Berdyansk is a large resort city on the shores of the Azov Sea. Thousands of vacationers visited it in the summer. This year, due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the city's beaches and hotels are without tourists. City businessmen place some thousand IDPs from Mariupol and other parts of Ukraine in their recreation centres providing food, accommodation and rehabilitation for people. For IDPs with children, the city water park operates free of charge. The head of the Zaporizhia region, Yevgeny Balitsky, announced that he had signed an order to hold a referendum on the issue of joining the region to Russia in early September 2022. Twelve headquarters for preparations for a referendum on joining the Russian Federation opened in Berdyansk and Berdyansk district of Zaporizhia region, said the head of the military-civilian administration of Berdyansk and Berdyansk region Alexander Saulenko. On 24 February 2022 Russian troops entered the Ukrainian territory in what the Russian president declared a 'Special Military Operation', starting an armed conflict that has provoked destruction and a humanitarian crisis.
