29 September, from the seaport terminal "Boritzh" in Odesa region, the company of Serhiy Frolov, long-time business partner of Ihor Kolomoyskyi and Hennadiy Boholyubov, was pushed out. The lawful owner of the complex – LLC "Agroterminal Logistics" – reclaimed it for itself by court decision.
What is known about the Borivazh terminal. The terminal belongs to LLC "Agroterminal Logistics" from 2016 year. LLC "Terminal "Boryazh", whose honorary general director is Frolov, used it under lease agreement No. 112 dated 1 August 2024 of the year. It was Frolov, it should be recalled, who in 2009 year involved former owners of PrivatBank as partners in building the "Boryazh", and at that time the terminal was part of the agro-holding group "Privat". On 30 June 2026 the Kyiv Economic Court in case No. 910/11034/24 (910/14853/25) recognized the lease agreement as null and obliged LLC "Terminal "Boryazh" to return the property to the owner. And already on 17 September the North Appeals Economic Court left the decision unchanged, and it came into legal force. "In spite of the courts’ decision gaining legal force, in violation of Art. 129-1 of the Constitution of Ukraine and Art. 326 of the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine, LLC "Terminal "Boryazh" refused to voluntarily return the property to its owner. These actions by him and other persons connected with Serhiy Frolov, involved procedural measures aimed at obstructing the actual return of the property, which is a crime under Art. 382 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine," says the lawyer for Agroterminal Logistics LLC, Ihor Shein. How they returned the terminal to its owners. 29 September, representatives of the owner together with a security company and the State Protection Service under the Ministry of Internal Affairs took the territory under protection; more than a hundred law enforcement officers ensured order. "The aim of the events of 29 September was not seizure of someone else’s property, but execution of a court order, restoration of actual control by the lawful owner over the property belonging to him, ensuring its protection and safeguarding, including of agricultural products," explains the lawyer. At the time of return, employees of LLC "Terminal "Boryazh" were on the terminal. "No violent actions, nor actions that could demean the honor or dignity of the present individuals, were committed. All employees were offered to calmly gather their personal belongings and were given ample time for this," adds Ihor Shein. Tenants disagree with the court decision. Meanwhile, LLC "Terminal "Boryazh" called the events a "raider seizure" and turned to the police, even though the court already found the lease invalid. "Serhiy Frolov is not and has never been the owner of the respective real estate. Such statements can be regarded as an attempt to impede the actual return of the property to its rightful owner," emphasizes the lawyer. According to him, such statements could become a basis for proceedings under Art. 383 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – knowingly false report. The terminal continues to operate. The owners of grain were offered to take the produce with supporting documents or to sign new contracts; an inventory with the participation of an independent surveyor was planned, during which owners or their experts could be present. It is worth noting that the court also established that the fee for using the terminal that had been set for LLC "Terminal "Boryazh" was significantly below the economically justified level. "Now the income should go toward paying creditors, taxes, and supporting the Armed Forces, rather than transferring funds to sanctioned individuals, as reportedly occurred under previous management," concludes the Agroterminal Logistics LLC lawyer.
