In Kyiv, barriers have been removed and free access has been granted to the coastal area of the elite River Stone complex at 14 Dniprovska Embankment (Darnitsky district). According to the Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office, the Supreme Court has settled the dispute and ruled that restricting access to the Dnieper was illegal; the area of over 2,300 square meters has been returned to public use.
According to the agency, the developer had previously fenced off the coastline with barriers and gates, allowing access only to residents of the complex. Following the court ruling, the structures were dismantled and the passageway was opened to all Kyiv residents and visitors to the city.
The city authorities and the prosecutor’s office emphasize that the coastal zone is public space, and any attempts to block access to the water without legal grounds will be challenged in court.
