Eco-activists demand that the Kyiv City Council should include in the agenda of the July 14 meeting the draft decision on the creation of a landscape reserve on both slopes of Protasiv Yar, which was fought for by public figure Roman Ratushny.

The project of this decision was registered in November 2021.
According to the community's lawsuit, the court invalidated the illegal sublease agreement in Protasiv Yar, and ecoactivists formed and agreed on proposals for this project. Roman Ratushny, a public figure who recently died at the front, took an active part in this process.
