The owner of the 13-meter fence in Bucha (Kyiv Oblast) turned out to be US citizen Serhiy Osyka, a lawyer who is the chairman of the Ukrainian National Bar Association in America and specializes in protecting property rights and privacy in Ukraine. This is why he decided to rent a house in Bucha, Channel 5 reports.
"I saw so-called 'drones' flying over my house—aircraft with cameras that were filming the area, and especially the noise- and dust-absorbing wall that separates my house from the five-story unfinished building next door," the lawyer explains.
"At first, I perceived this as an intrusion into my legal practice and a violation of my rights and freedoms as a lawyer. But when I looked into it, I realized I was witnessing a political showdown. Essentially, the fence isn't the issue in this whole story. The main thing is the increased media interest in the people who likely once owned this house," Osyka concludes.
Let us recall that earlier the media circulated accusations Viktor Bondik in the illegal construction of a 13-meter protective structure around a private house in Bucha.
As noted, this house was actually built back in 2006 by a local resident, and the fence was erected by the owners of the private house back in 2010 to prevent construction dust from getting into the yard and the noise of equipment from the apartment building next door.
Initially, construction on the high-rise building was proceeding at full speed, but it was later frozen—the developer took the money and disappeared. About 60 buyers, who had paid in full for their future homes, were left with nothing. Media reports suggested that the owner of a neighboring private house was to blame for this situation. However, it has been noted that the developer is trying to divert attention from itself.
Lesya Ivakhno, a representative of the Bulgakovsky cooperative and a defender of depositors' rights, also expressed agreement with this opinion in a comment to Channel 5.
"The fence isn't a problem for the building's commissioning. The developer has a plethora of other unresolved issues. This is simply shifting the issue from one's own head to another. When the investors contacted the relevant authorities, it became clear that the project called for a private house on this site, not two five-story buildings in a private sector. The fence is a pretext for not commissioning a building that has already been paid for. Several criminal cases have already been opened," she noted.
Bucha Mayor Anatoly Fedoryuk also confirms the legality of the construction of the noise-absorbing wall, which meets all standards.
“It doesn’t bother anyone, because no one lives next door,” he said.
Osyka's current tenant is already in negotiations to purchase the building he currently rents. And if the developer completes the deal and commissions the five-story building, the noise-proofing panel will be pointless—it will simply be dismantled.
