Rest during the 2022 war. Planning and options for Ukrainians to rest

February 2022 turned out to be fateful for all Ukrainians and for the world as a whole. But this month has always been a tourist one in terms of traveling to the warm countries of the world. Therefore, many families vacationing abroad at that time were condemned and faced criticism. It was on this note that many people came to believe that rest or vacation during a war is a crime. But human resources are not unlimited. And rest is needed both to recover from physical fatigue and, first of all, from moral exhaustion. For most Ukrainians, this year’s vacation makes no sense. The main Ukrainian resort cities are occupied by orcs. Second, most men are now at the front and do not have the opportunity for a full rest. Third, there is the financial problem that many have faced. Many jobs have been destroyed and people have been left without income. But still, first of all, we need to care about the moral health of our children. After all, they are like sponges, absorbing all the information we transmit with our moral spirit.

Even during the war in Ukraine, the tourism industry continues to operate. At present there are many offers for holidays both abroad and within Ukraine. Of course, there are no safe places in Ukraine at the moment. But there are cities farther away from the fighting. First of all, this is Western Ukraine. Rest there has always been popular at any time. A recommended place for a few days’ rest is Bakota. It is located in Khmelnytskyi Oblast. It is also popularly known as “Atlantis”. This is a very strong energy place. Tourists come to admire nature, rest in nature far away. What to do in Bakota? First of all, it is active recreation on the banks of the Dniester. Accommodation is possible both in tents and in cottages along the shoreline. These are picturesque views for a photo shoot. Sail along the Dniester in boats and kayaks. Visit the ancient rock monastery. Climb the mysterious mountain. These are not all the entertainments offered by this picturesque region. That is, for a small amount of money you will get a lot of emotions and rest in nature.

Moving a little farther, we suggest visiting Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk , Ternopil or Kamianets-Podilskyi. But for moral rest there is nothing better than plunging into the embrace of nature. For this it does not matter whether you are somewhere in the Carpathians or in the park zone of your city. Right now, many parks, forests and lakes are closed to visitors. So you can rest by going to small petting zoos. They are also in a difficult situation right now. In this way, you contribute to the development and support of the country’s economic situation. If you have more days for rest, it is better to visit thermal resort

towns such as Truskavets, Morshyn, Myrhorod. Spring mineral water is healing not only for adults, but for children it will also be an excellent treatment. In Western Ukraine, there is currently a lot of accommodation on residential complexes. They are located in areas closer to the mountain ranges. Many have outdoor pools and various amusements for children. There are many types of free leisure. For example, go for a bike or scooter ride, or take a walk along the river if it is safe, go to the countryside where there is a small lake or pond and go fishing. Yes, these are difficult times right now. But we must not forget that first of all, we need to take care of our own moral state and that of our closest people. We need to rest for at least a couple of days during the war so that we can restore our physical and moral strengthand restore our psychological health. But you also need to keep an eye on how you do it. For example, uncontrollable fun and noise may worry people nearby. Perhaps they have only just escaped from the occupied territories. You should also monitor what is being posted on social media. Because it would be inappropriate to watch joy when the days in the country are extremely hard. And remember, you have the right to rest. Because you have been working since the first days of the war, contributing to the country’s economy, and taking care of your physical condition. Of course, taking into account a whole range of nuances, because this is not a full rest and has many drawbacks. But first of all, do not forget who is beside you and respect people’s feelings.

Everything will be Ukraine.
