The difficult situation in the ports of Odessa and logistics problems are limiting activity in the oilseed sector in Ukraine, according to the information and analytical agency APK-Inform.
“Russian army missile attacks on Ukrainian ports, damage to terminals, warehouses, and other infrastructure will cause a reduction in shipments in the coming months and may destabilize the situation on the global agricultural market,” analysts explained.
They noted that last week, price growth on the Ukrainian soybean export market stalled, which was due to both missile attacks on ports and pressure from the global market, despite the fact that demand for Ukrainian soybeans remained quite high and export rates grew in the first half of December.
Experts added that demand prices for GM soybeans in Ukrainian ports remained at their highest levels since August 2024 – $420-425 per ton (CPT port).
“The European Union has finally postponed the implementation of the EUDR regulation for another year, which will allow companies to increase supplies of soybeans and soybean meal in this direction,” APK-Inform predicts.
The Enforcement Division of the State Enforcement Service has once again listed the Lustdorf sports and recreation complex (Odessa) on the OpenMarket electronic platform (SE “SETAM” of the Ministry of Justice) at a starting price of UAH 191.9 million.
According to the SETAM press service, the total area of the complex is 7,700 square meters. The lot includes an administrative building, a hotel, a sports and recreation complex, a football field, stands, boiler rooms, etc. The land plot is not included in the lot.
The auction is scheduled for January 1, 2026. The guarantee deposit is UAH 9.5 million.
As reported, in 2021, the Kyiv District Court of Odesa upheld the claim of the National Bank of Ukraine against the former owner of Imexbank, Leonid Klimov, and ruled to sell the Lyustdorf sports and recreation complex in Odesa at an open auction to repay UAH 309 million of the bank’s debt on the stabilization loan provided to it.
As the owner of Imexbank, Klimov entered into surety and mortgage agreements with the National Bank in 2014, assuming personal obligations to repay the regulator’s debt on the bank’s stabilization loans.
In January 2016, the National Bank went to court to collect the debt through legal proceedings, as Klimov had failed to fulfill his obligations under the guarantee agreement.
On January 26, 2015, the NBU decided to classify Imexbank as insolvent, and on May 21, 2015, it revoked the bank’s license and liquidated the financial institution.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has proposed creating a transport corridor linking the Greek port of Alexandroupolis with Odessa in Ukraine via Varna in Bulgaria and Constanta in Romania.
“I would like Odessa to be at one end of an ambitious, comprehensive project to develop connections that would start in the port of Alexandroupolis, pass through Varna, Constanta, and finally reach Odessa. This is a project that could be proposed for EU funding,” he said at the 4th Ukraine-South-East Europe Summit in Odessa on Wednesday.
According to the prime minister, the corridor would include transport railways, power lines, and gas pipelines, and it would be a project that “would provide an additional transport corridor for Ukraine, much faster than transporting goods by sea.” He also said that the project would provide “a clear and tangible vision of how Ukraine’s integration into the EU can really change the lives of Ukrainians.”
Mitsotakis also assured that Greece would always be ready to contribute any expert or technical support to bring EU candidates closer to accession.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić arrived in Odessa to participate in the Ukraine-Southeast Europe Summit. This is his first visit to Ukraine in 12 years in office.
