The message noted that in 2017 and 2020, the main department of the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre in the Kyiv region transferred 2 land plots to private ownership.

The press service emphasized that these 4 hectares were transferred under the guise of agricultural land. However, since 2000, they have been part of the Trakhtemyriv landscape park.

"Taking into account the arguments of the prosecutor, the court satisfied the lawsuits and returned the land plots to the state in the person of the Rzhyshchiv City Council," the message emphasized.

Earlier, EcoPoltic wrote, that in Ukraine, in 2022, the courts returned 65 hectares of illegally seized land to national nature parks. Another 23 similar cases are under consideration.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, in the south of Kyiv region, near the village of Yemchikha, in Obukhiv district, a 26-hectare reserve of local importance, Dubovy Yar, was created.
