Experts of the all-Ukrainian campaign "Certification of Local Council Deputies" analyzed the declarations of the deputies of the Odesa City Council for 2021-2024. The monitoring covered both the completeness of disclosure and the content of the declared property. The results revealed considerable wealth of individual councillors, particularly in real estate and transportation.
