Mykolaiv Prosecutor Demands Return of 2 Hectares from Private Ownership

In Mykolaiv region, the prosecutor's office is demanding that the community return land that is part of a hydrological reserve. The land was transferred to private ownership.

This was reported by the press service of the Mykolaiv Regional Prosecutor's Office.
