The commercial court of the Mykolaiv region ordered the violator to pay the amount of damage. In September 2024, the Inhulets River Canal Administration, which acts as the public legal successor of the Bashtanka Interdistrict Water Management, paid the entire amount of damages.

We will remind that the amount of damage to the ecology of the Mykolaiv region since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine amounted to more than 90 billion hryvnias.
