The prosecutor’s office defended the state’s right to more than 100 ha of defense land
In Volyn, based on lawsuits filed by the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Defense of the Western Region, the court ordered the return to the state of almost 90 ha of land in the border strip along the border with Belarus. Nearly 14 ha of land of a combined-arms training range have already been returned to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
In total, this concerns 104 ha of defense land, which are to be used for guarding the state border and for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their monetary valuation exceeds 220 million UAH.
Despite their defensive purpose and the need for the land by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, three plots totaling 90 ha were registered as agricultural land.
At the prosecutors’ lawsuits, the court ordered their return to the state. The decisions have come into legal force.
In another case, two land plots totaling more than 24,5 ha partially overlapped with the territory of the combined-arms training range.
Pursuant to the court decisions, the state registration of these plots was canceled. The greater part of these lands has already been returned to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The return of lands, property, and other assets of a defensive purpose is one of the prosecution’s areas of work within the strategic direction “Defensive Interest.”
In 2026, specialized defense prosecutor’s offices filed 361 lawsuits totaling 44,9 billion UAH. Courts satisfied 199 lawsuits totaling 36,5 billion UAH. Court decisions totaling 92,1 billion UAH were enforced, including 377,4 million UAH returned to the budget.
