KIEV, Jan. 27 – Ukraine will return UAH 800 million of bid deposits to two Ukrainian bidders in a tender to sell the Odessa Port-Side Plant, which failed to take place, but not until the company is privatized, according to Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

"The funds will be returned at once when fair privatization of the Odessa Port-Side Plant starts," she said in an interview with the Ukrainska Pravda online publication posted on Tuesday.
