Controversy

His property in Chotiw

In 2009, he began building a luxurious estate in Chotiw on the archaeological remains of an earlier Scythian settlement . Its construction site and some other parts of the settlement had previously been designated as an archaeological monument . The construction destroyed the northern part of the settlement (one of the richest remains of ancient buildings surrounded by the highest part of the defensive wall) and the surrounding landscape. According to Kosyuk, "what is being built is built in depth and has nothing to do with the settlement".
