The Deputy Prosecutor of the Mykolaiv Region filed a lawsuit to overturn the City Council's decision to allocate a plot of land to Dmitry Firtash's Nika-Tera Specialized Sea Port LLC (Mykolaiv). This was reported by the press service of the Mykolaiv Region Prosecutor's Office.
It was established that the land plot allocated, with an area of 79,4 hectares and a value of UAH 219 million, is the bottom surface of the Bug Estuary, and its boundaries do not coincide with any structures or natural banks.
The prosecutor's office also claims that the Bug Estuary is a water body of national importance and is considered part of Ukraine's internal marine waters. According to legal requirements, the management of internal marine waters, including the allocation of portions of water bodies for the creation of a port area, falls within the purview of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Therefore, the city council exceeded its legal authority and illegally allocated the land to the Nika-Tera mine.
As a reminder, Nika-Tera Marine Terminal is a highly mechanized marine terminal, part of Dmitry Firtash's Ostchem holding company. It is located on the left bank of the Bug Estuary, 63 km from the sea. The facility covers 143,9 hectares; its operating water area is 67,4 hectares.
