Under the occupation, the Crimean sanatorium Sudak remained open to vacationers, but its infrastructure is gradually deteriorating. The premises and equipment are becoming outdated, and part of the facility is already being used by the Russian army.
This was reported by Telegraph.
During the temporary Russian occupation, some Ukrainian sanatoriums continue to operate in Crimea, including the legendary Sudak. However, according to media reports, the occupiers do not invest in the development of the complex, which is why the buildings and engineering structures are gradually deteriorating.
The sanatorium has been under Russian control for over a decade, but remains open to vacationers. In the summer season, a night's stay in a standard double room with meals costs about 1700 UAH per person, with health treatments paid separately.
The occupation has caused significant damage to Sudak. The problems relate not only to outdated equipment and medical devices that have not been updated in decades, but also to serious infrastructure issues. These include water supply interruptions and polluted beaches, including sewage.
In addition, the Russian authorities plan to transfer the sanatorium to the Russian Defense Ministry. Some buildings have already been adapted for the needs of the army and administrative structures.
According to media reports, the history of the Sudak sanatorium goes back more than 70 years. It was founded in 1948 as a rest home and later reclassified as a health care facility. It quickly gained popularity: there are seven buildings with 1,100 beds, its own mineralized water source, a 17-hectare arboretum, a private beach, and all the necessary infrastructure for recreation.
Also in Sudak, on the occupied peninsula, the Russian authorities put up for sale the Crimean Spring boarding house, which was previously called Lviv Railwayman. The seller is a company controlled by the Russian Federation, and after 2014, the institution was renamed.
On the southern coast of Crimea, the management of the Gurzufsky sanatorium, which was taken away from Ukraine, banned local residents from accessing the park-monument on its territory. Additionally, a high blank fence was erected on the Gurzuf waterfront, completely blocking the view of the park.
During the first half of 2025, the occupation authorities of Crimea sold 25 nationalized objects at auctions, and the proceeds exceeded 2.2 billion rubles. The funds are allegedly used for the development of the peninsula and support for the participants in the war against Ukraine.
