On January 17, 2017, Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Volodymyr Omelyan ordered to rename by April 29, 2017, the names of state enterprises, institutions and infrastructure facilities that have symbols of the communist regime, as well as names containing Russism or in non-Ukrainian language.[4] On April 17, 2019, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine renamed the port changing it from "Yuzhnyi" to "Pivdennyi."[5]
