In Kyiv, the court decided to collect 10.2 million hryvnias from the regional branch of South-Western Railway, a division of Ukrzaliznytsia for soil pollution.
Part of the territory of the Darnytsia locomotive depot was littered with slag industrial waste, namely spent crushed stone, the State Environmental Inspection of the Capital District reports on Facebook.
The report said that experts of the Pechersk District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv filed the lawsuit. The commercial court satisfied him in full.
