Sevastopol fishermen and restaurants were left without seafood and turned to the authorities
Sevastopol restaurateurs and fishermen were left without income.
There are few tourists in the hero city, but even they will not be served dishes from the fresh catch - fishermen are prohibited from going to sea during the special operation in Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The day before, at a meeting of the Sevastopol government, they considered the first package of measures to support the affected sectors of the economy. These included agriculture, fishing, manufacturing, tourism and others related to the hospitality industry.
The deadlines for paying taxes and leasing state property were extended, land rental rates were reduced, and summer cafe areas were exempted from payments altogether until June 1.
“The payment deadlines for small and medium-sized businesses have also been extended until August 31 for land, property and transport taxes for the first quarter and for 4 months for patents and the unified agricultural tax,” said Vice-Governor of Sevastopol Maria Litovko.
The day before, restaurateurs in Sevastopol announced a record drop in revenue. In some restaurants in Balaklava it is 800 rubles per day. And, first of all, this is due to the ban on going to sea. About a hundred enterprises and individual entrepreneurs were affected on the peninsula, including oyster and mussel farms.
“63 enterprises are in forced downtime due to the ban on access to the Black and Azov Seas,” said Dmitry Sheryako, Minister of Economic Development of Crimea. “We are waiting for the Russian government’s resolution on federal measures to support fishing enterprises.”
In Crimea and Sevastopol, entrepreneurs are offered to take advantage of preferential loans to replenish working capital and pay salaries. If the situation does not change by the May holidays, fishermen will have to look for work on land.
