Chornomorsk Mayor Vasyl Huliayev's 2024 Declaration Shows Family Changes and Missing Assets

Last year, the mayor of Chornomorsk, Vasyl Huliayev, rented a one-hectare plot of land and a 211.1-square-meter house in the village of Molodizhne, Odesa Oblast.

This is evidenced by the official's declaration for 2024, published by the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.

Also, the declaration for 2024 differs from the previous one for 2023 in that it lists three daughters of the mayor as family members, while his wife Olena is not. Also, her property, which was listed in the previous financial report, is not in the declaration:

• A 69-square-meter apartment in Chornomorsk.
• Three plots of land with an area of just over 20 acres each in Molodizhne.
• A 391-square-meter plot of land in Molodizhne.

His wife is also not listed as a tenant of an apartment in Spain, which the family rented in 2022 and continued to rent in 2024.

His wife's Hublot watch and her Audi Q5, made in 2017, also disappeared from the declaration. As for the income, the financial report for 2024 no longer contains data on his wife's salary and her savings, which in 2023 amounted to UAH 3 million 581 thousand, USD 23 thousand and EUR 13 thousand in cash and UAH 397 thousand 332 and EUR 40 thousand 673 in banks.

As for the real estate in the mayor's declaration, apart from the land and the house in Molodizhne, the leased properties remained last year:

• A rented apartment in Spain, where Vasyl Huliayev's daughters are listed as tenants.
• An apartment in Chornomorsk with an area of 150.3 square meters, which he acquired in 2023.
• Two non-residential premises in the same city with an area of 139.6 and 74.7 square meters, which also became the property of the mayor the year before last.
• Two land plots of one hectare and six acres in Molodizhne.
• An apartment of 51.3 square meters in Chornomorsk.

The mayor's only vehicles are a 1961 GAZ and a 2013 Volkswagen Multivan. The mayor also has a Breguet watch.

As income, the mayor indicated his own salary of UAH 788.4 thousand per year, pension of UAH 164.8 thousand, additional benefit of UAH 2,713 and alimony totaling UAH 55,953, which he paid to his daughters (UAH 18,651 each).

Last year, the family's savings consisted of 67 thousand dollars, 1 million 940 thousand hryvnias and 49 thousand euros in cash, as well as gold worth 230 thousand hryvnias. They had UAH 77,321 in the bank.
