What the preparation schedule shows
According to the published timeline, preparation of most assets for sale has begun or is set to begin as early as May–June 2026. For some assets, this stage will last several months and will include preparation for the auction announcement and exhibition.
The schedule indicates that the first auctions could take place as early as August–September 2026, but the bulk of sales is scheduled for September–December 2026.
For example:
- The Odesa Port Plant, Sumykhimprom, Demurinsky GOK, and Motor Detail-Konotop are being prepared for auctions starting in May, and the auctions themselves may take place in September–October 2026.
- The Hlukhiv Quartzite Quarry is expected to be put up for auction earlier than the others—preparations will continue through August, and the auction could take place as early as August–September 2026.
- Iron ore pellets, iron ore briquettes, and potassium chloride are planned for sale in October–November 2026.
The most valuable assets—the Mykolaiv Alumina Plant, bauxite, alumina, and Ocean Plaza—are taking longer to prepare than the others, and their auctions are scheduled for November–December 2026.
Ocean Plaza and the Mykolaiv Alumina Plant will go up for auction at the end of the year
As shown in the schedule, Ocean Plaza and the Mykolaiv Alumina Plant have the longest preparation cycle. For these properties, the active phase of preparation and exposure will effectively last until late fall.
The auction commission for Ocean Plaza is scheduled to convene in August 2026, and the auction is planned for November–December 2026. The same sale period is indicated for MGZ.
This means that the end of 2026 could be a key stage in the large-scale privatization, as this period will see the sale of the most expensive and high-profile assets.
