She also owns an office space of 51.5 square meters, purchased in 2017 for UAH 252.3 thousand. In addition, the declaration indicates another apartment of 86.8 square meters, which the official uses, but the owner of the apartment is another person - Alla Pozdnyakova.

Neither the declarant nor her family members have any construction in progress.

Among her valuable movable property , Anna Pozdnyakova declared a sable fur coat by Braschi, as well as several pieces of Damiani jewelry - a wedding ring, earrings and a white gold pendant with diamonds. A Louis Vuitton designer bag is also listed separately. All these items were purchased before the first declaration was submitted. The official also indicated the presence of cryptocurrency - 6.02 Bitcoin.

Among the vehicles owned by the deputy mayor is a 2021 Toyota Highlander purchased in June 2022. The declared value of the car is UAH 1.95 million. She has no securities, corporate rights or business.

She was appointed deputy mayor of Odesa in the summer of 2024. Previously, she was in charge of the Odesa City Heat Supply utility company.

In late October, former Odesa Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov and his deputies were notified of suspicion of negligence in office, which led to the deaths of people during the September 30 floods. The investigation found that the officials failed to provide an effective response to the disaster.
