What it's about
The Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office has filed a claim with the Commercial Court seeking recovery of more than UAH 28 million in development contributions that, the office asserts, were not transferred to the city budget. The case concerns a residential complex on Akademika Glushkova Street in the Holosiivskyi district with a total area of more than 250,000 sq. m.
Case details and who is involved
The prosecutor's press service did not name the developer in the announcement, but the message was illustrated with a photo of the Avenue 42 residential complex, built by KSM-Group. In the court registry, the lawsuit is filed against Ukrinvest LLC — seeking recovery of UAH 25.3 million in development contributions, UAH 2.35 million in inflationary losses, and UAH 763,305 in 3% annual interest.
"Payment of the development contribution for the city's infrastructure must be made by construction developers who incurred such an obligation prior to the abolition of this payment."

The city's position and practical significance
For Kyiv residents this is not legal terminology but real services: development contribution funds go to roads, educational and healthcare institutions, and engineering infrastructure. According to the prosecutor's office, the capital's budget has not received more than UAH 1.2 billion due to non-payment of development and investment contributions — a sum that directly affects the quality of services in the city.
Context and precedents
This lawsuit is not isolated: in September 2025 the prosecutor's office filed a similar claim for UAH 22 million against the developer of the Berezhanskyi residential complex, in November — for UAH 13 million against the developer of Eco Dream, and in January 2026 — for UAH 6 million regarding the Forward complex. The accumulation of such cases indicates a systematic approach by the authorities to recover underpaid contributions.
What happens next
The court has opened proceedings and scheduled a preparatory hearing for 7 April. The court's decision will determine not only the fate of the specific amounts but also set a precedent for further recoveries — and, as a result, the potential strengthening of financing for municipal infrastructure.
Conclusion
This case is about developer accountability and how the mechanism for filling the city budget operates during the country's reconstruction. The issue poses a public question: will Kyiv residents be able to count on the funds that formally belong to the city for local needs? The answer will affect not only the balance sheets but also the city's ability to repair roads and build schools and hospitals.
