16 July , 2026  

At a meeting on Wednesday, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the terms for the privatization of the Odesa Port Plant (OPP), as well as the sale of two sanctioned assets—Demurinsky Mining and Processing Plant (GZK) LLC and Motordetal-Konotop LLC, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced; her resignation from this post had been approved by the Verkhovna Rada the day before.

“The state’s stake in OPZ will be put up for an open electronic auction with a starting price of over 4.3 billion hryvnias. The goal is to attract a strategic investor who will restore full-scale operations at one of Ukraine’s largest chemical complexes,” she wrote on Telegram.
Svyrydenko noted that among the key conditions for the buyer are investing at least 500 million hryvnias in modernization and improving the energy efficiency of production, as well as preserving the company’s core business activities.

According to her, the starting price for the sale of “Demurynskyi GZK” has been set at 1.82 billion hryvnias, and for “Motordetal-Konotop” at 415.5 million hryvnias.

All three assets will be sold through open online auctions on the Prozorro.Sales platform, and the proceeds will go to the Fund for the Elimination of the Consequences of Armed Aggression and will be used for Ukraine’s recovery, the prime minister clarified.
In another post, Svyrydenko referred to this meeting as the final meeting of the current government.
