He noted that it is currently difficult to predict when yachting can be resumed, but the UBA has already carried out the necessary work and submitted the relevant materials for approval.

Kropyva also recalled that at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, many entrepreneurs asked the authorities to help them take their yachts out of Ukraine. Now, the issue of their return and the resumption of the industry requires a clear algorithm.

«We are working on it, we have sent the relevant materials and documents to the President's Office and the National Security and Defence Council to have a roadmap», the official said.

According to him, the issue was actively discussed with representatives of the Navy and the military.
