This is the only the second lighthouse I've done in Ukraine; not for political or military reasons, but because I haven't looked there much. The first one was in Yalta. This one is located just south of Odessa, as you can see on the map here.
This is information from the Lighthouse Directory:
"2010 (station established 1921). Active; focal plane 41 m (135 ft); two green flashes every 15 s. 28 m (92 ft) octagonal cylindrical masonry tower with lantern and gallery. Lighthouse painted white, lantern dome green. In 2010 this lighthouse was replaced by a new tower having the same appearance as the old one, but 9 m (30 ft) taller. ... Located above the beach about 16 km (10 mi) northeast of the mouth of the Dnister and about 15 km (9 mi) southwest of Illichivsk."
That part about the tower being replaced by a new one makes me unsure if the pictures are of the old one or the new one. It is also on a stamp.
