Borivazh terminal in Odesa region seized by masked men: what is known

Masked men enter Borivazh grain terminal in Odesa region

In the morning, a group of approximately 50 masked men entered the territory of the Borivazh grain terminal at the Port of Pivdennyi in the Odesa region. According to sources from "Ekonomichna Pravda", the men may be linked to the security company "Sapsan".

Reports indicate that the group pushed security guards off the complex's territory and restricted access to the facility. Terminal management representatives assessed the situation as an attempted raid and contacted law enforcement agencies.

Seven security guards, according to available information, were removed from the terminal's territory. Some of them sought medical attention after the incident to document their injuries.

The situation surrounding "Borivazh" has a long legal history. The terminal was previously linked to businessmen Igor Kolomoisky and Hennadiy Boholiubov. The legal status of the asset has been the subject of court disputes in recent years.

Specifically, the facility was held as collateral by the National Bank of Ukraine and was subsequently seized within the framework of a criminal case and transferred to the management of the Agency for the Recovery and Management of Assets (ARMA).

The legality of transferring the terminal to the company "Agroterminal Logistic" is also being challenged. Court proceedings continue regarding the management of the asset and its future fate.

At the time the information about the incident emerged, the parties to the conflict assessed the situation differently. Terminal representatives spoke of a forcible seizure of the facility, while the circumstances of the security group's presence on the territory and the legal basis for their actions are to be established by law enforcement agencies.

The further development of the situation will depend on the results of the police investigation and court decisions regarding the legal status of the terminal.
