Sokiryanskaya city council, headed by Vasyl Kozak, put up for sale a land plot on the banks of the Dniester, in the village of Lomachentsy. The lot card states that the land can be used "

The story unfolding in the Chernivtsi region is a clear example of the results of the arbitrary “cutting” of districts for the interests of local elites, about which ZN. UA repeatedly wrote.

Secretary of the Novodniestrovskaya city council Igor Nazhiga, who now defends Ukraine in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, says: “Kozak has been in charge of the Sokyryan region since the time of (the second president of Ukraine Leonid) Kuchma. He placed all his. He drove the Svarog West Group company to the former collective farms and made his wife a co-owner"

The son of the head of the city council, Volodymyr Kozak, is a people's deputy on the list of the Servant of the People, another majoritarian deputy, Valery Bozhyk, is loyal to Kozak, as he helped him become a deputy, adds Nazhiga.

The direction for those wishing to form new districts, taking into account the interests of local clans, and not the development of communities, was indicated by the government of Oleksiy Goncharuk, when the long-term plan of the Onokovskaya community in Transcarpathia was sacrificed to the requests of the “servant of the people” Mikhail Laba.

Vasily Kozak turned out to be the leader in the Sokiryansky district, and the entire Ukrainian government turned out to be the follower.

In the spring of 2020, the Chernivtsi Regional State Administration and its head Serhiy Osachuk presented a long-term plan, in which, in order to please the local feudal clans, the law, methods for uniting communities, expert opinions and norms of decency were demonstratively ignored. Cabinet approved the plan.

As a result of this decision, the city of regional significance - Novodnestrovsk - remained a dot on the map without territories for development and the meaning of existence, told ZN. UA ex-first deputy head of the Chernivtsi region Vasily Gostyuk.

Novodnestrovsk is historically the center of this region. It was there that the initiative of the residents to create an UTC with a center in Novodnestrovsk was born. The village of Lomachentsy at one time, according to the law on the voluntary association of thunder, came up with an initiative to join Novodnestrovsk.

On the day the decision to unite was made, the selrada in Lomachentsy was seized by aggressive residents who wanted to create a community from nearby villages without Novodnestrovsk. From poor small and unviable villages.

Gostyuk connected the protests in Lomachentsy with Kozak, who did not want to lose control over this territory, because in the village there is an exit to the Dniester with the territory of a large recreation complex. Despite Kozak's tricks, the Novodniestrovskaya OTG was successfully created.

However, in the new long-term plan of the Regional State Administration, all villages, even those that have already completed the process of creating a community, including Lomachentsy, were excluded from the Novodniestrovskaya community and given to the regional center of Sokiryany.

The main struggle unfolded to maintain control over the entire area in the center with the Sokiryans, Gostyuk noted.. “If we create three communities, as we planned in accordance with the methodology, it will cease to be of interest to regional leaders,” he explained..

The loss of control over the region threatened Kozak with political defeat. Therefore, he used all means of influence to force the Regional State Administration to act in the interests of the local prince, Gostyuk noted..
