Ukrainian here. Odessa is indeed a city on another level. Easily the best city in the country and incredibly nice in the summer. Glad you liked it! <3

I heard "was". due to destruction from russian attacks.

Well, summer or not, it's not really comfy to walk around a city during explosions happening right over your head. Been there, done that.

or walking around ruins, explosions or not

There aren't ruins in Odessa. A few buildings, yes, but the city is just fine, you might not even notice the destruction.
