The big privatization will be launched as soon as the coronavirus crisis is over, and the Dnipro Hotel will become its pilot project, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

"As to medium-sized and big privatization, everything is ready. It will be launched after COVID-19. The first target – the Dnipro Hotel – is ready. As we promised, we started with public administration agency," he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Wednesday.

The president also said the rest of hotels on balance of the public administration agency will be handed over to the State Property Fund.

The privatization targets have been "cleared off" legal cases, Zelensky said.
