On March 20, 2019, http://nikvesti.com published an article “Governor Savchenko said that Nikolaev citizens were “captured” because of bulky cargoes that had destroyed the roads”. 
Although NIBULON wasn’t mentioned in the direct speech of the head of Mykolaiv Regional State Administration, employees of NikVesti added sentences, “… The Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan criticized Aleksei Vadaturskyy and Nibulon for overloaded trucks on the roads of Nikolaev region.  Yevgeniy Volovoy, a member of the public council at the Service of highways in Nikolaev region, said that the trucks moving to Nibulon ignored the bypass and “killed” the roads”, thereby having unreasonably accused NIBULON in destroying roads.
You did not pay or did not want to pay attention to the fact that the false information you refer to was refuted or commented by us in 2016-2017 (http://www.nibulon.com/news/sprostuvannya-nedostovirnoi-informacii/oficiina-zayava-oleksiya-vadaturskogo-schodo-nibito-masovogo-ignoruvannya-obiznogo-shlyaxu-ta-ruinuvannya-dorig-oblasnogo-centru-vodiyami-velikotonnazhnix-avtomobiliv-yaki-idut-na-nibulon.html and http://nibulon.com/news/novini-kompanii/dumki-pislya-taemnogo-vizitu-ministra-infrastrukturi-ukraini-v-misto-mikolaiv.html). You “forgot” about 15 port terminals, points of agricultural products receipt in Mykolaiv, including Nika-Tera (traders – Noble and Louis Dreyfus), Grintureks (trader – Bunge), Nikmorservice (trader – Cargill), Mykolaiv Bread Product Center PJSC (trader – Virtus), Agroalfaterminal (trader – Argo Export Group) and Ekotrans (trader – Kernel-Trade). You also “forgot” about trucks transporting building materials and about thousands of transit trucks which travel along both regional and city roads. Of course, all these companies have “nothing” to do with this issue. And thousands of trucks are nothing compared to a hundred of NIBULON’s modern trucks.
However, if your agency is a leader in terms of search and distribution of negative facts about NIBULON, then distribution of positive information, real facts and the company’s achievements is rather an exception. It turns out that it is absolutely “impossible” to find information or mention that since 2009 our company, the only one among all Mykolaiv port operators, has been successfully implementing its investment project to revive the Dnipro and the Southern Buh Rivers as the main transport waterways of Ukraine. Due to this project, almost 60 % of our cargoes are transported by rivers, 30 % – by rail transport, and 10 % – by trucks (distance up to 100 km).
Thus, only in 2018, we transported more than 2.8 million tons of products by inland waterways. Consequently, more than 116 thousand trucks were removed from the roads of Mykolaiv and Mykolaiv region.
It is our company that from 2015 has offered local authorities and the Minister of Infrastructure to implement the project of ferry crossing. It will not only solve the problem with Varvarivka bridge, but also eliminate the need for entering the city, improve the ecological situation. However, the officials have acknowledged the need for such a project and began to offer options for resolving the issue as the situation became critical.
NIBULON also initiated a project for the construction of transshipment terminals outside the city of Mykolaiv. This measure would also contribute to the exclusion of trucks entering the city. We are ready to implement such a project, but the local authorities didn’t support us.  
We have repeatedly raised the issue of the need to transport not only grain along the Southern Buh River, but also building materials. The volume of such transportation can attain 1 million tons. Thus, trucks with building materials will not have to enter Mykolaiv.  By the way, we already transport building materials for the construction of our facilities by river. Our proposal for the transport of building materials of Mykolaiv ferroconcrete products plants within Ukraine is still relevant.
Unfortunately, we have to admit that the practice of spreading false and negative and, in the overwhelming majority, refuted by us information is a very frequent phenomenon on the site of NikVesti. This approach definitely neither adds professionalism nor increases confidence nor improves the reputation of your agency.
In general, we understand your unfriendly behavior towards our company. And one of the reasons for such a reaction may be the suit filed against you for the distribution of false information, in particular distributed in the program produced by “Stop CorruptionTV” about NIBULON.
We would like to note that “Stop CorruptionTV” said that they had nothing to do with the program; they were neither authors nor editors. Public organization “Stop Corruption” chose a similar approach. In response to a lawyer’s request, it wrote that it had no information about this program. “True” investigators!
Let’s add that all correspondence sent to the office of NikVesti was returned due to expiration of the storage period at the post office.
By the way, “Stop Corruption” is expelled from the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) due to incompetence and conflict of interest. According to the media (https://detector.media/community/article/163854/2019-03-06-stop-koruptsii-spadkova-khvoroba /), this is the first case in the history of the network which has 177 member organizations in 76 countries.
In our opinion, by applying such manipulative techniques in the provision of information, you deliberately mislead your audience and violate the basic international principles of professional ethics in journalism, namely:
– to serve the people’s right to true and authentic information through an honest dedication to objective reality;
– people’s right to true information;
– the journalist’s professional integrity;
– the journalist’s social responsibility. 
In your articles, news, posts, you try to prove yourself as a kind of fighters for the rights of Ukrainians, Mykolaiv citizens. You require officials, businessmen and others to be honest, law-abiding and socially responsible. And this is correct. But let us recall that information in journalism is understood as a social good and not as a commodity, which means that the journalist shares responsibility for the information transmitted and is thus accountable not only to those controlling the media but ultimately to the public at large, including various social interests. 
We are convinced that readers deserve true and impartial information. For our part, we will continue implementing our initiatives and projects aimed at the development of the Ukrainian economy and lives of every Ukrainian by our deeds.
