At a meeting of the permanent commission of the Kyiv City Council on issues of urban planning, architecture and land use MPs agreed on the termination of the lease contract directly for the three sites provided to the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the press service of Kyiv City Council said.

"These plots of land were granted for the use of 49 years to the Russian Federation in 1998. For one hryvnia rent per year the Muscovites had the right to build a new embassy, a consulate and a residence of the ambassador, or sublease it, mortgage at banks or even sell. Fortunately, over 17-years of their use they didn't have time to use this right, so we can break the leases," the press service of the City Council cites the subject of the submission of the relevant decisions, the city council deputy, Ihor Miroshnychenko.
