In the process of research, the meaning of the term “limitation of rights to land” of foreign individuals and legal entities in Ukraine was determined, which consists in the establishment of certain prohibitions that define the limits of possible behavior and lead to a narrowing of the scope of the land powers of the specified subjects in the process of acquiring and exercising rights by them ownership of land plots and land use rights, which complicates or makes impossible the acquisition or realization of their land rights. The term “restriction of rights to land” should be distinguished from the term “burdening rights to land” of foreign individuals and legal entities in Ukraine, which consists in imposing additional obligations on foreign entities in the process of exercising their rights to land, which complicates their realization land rights.
