The declarations of MPs from Kherson region showed not only square meters, but also complex schemes of using property through relatives. The rating includes apartments, houses, offices, and land registered to the politicians themselves, their families, or third parties.
TheCenter for Public Investigations, together with Intent, found that the largest amounts of declared funds are concentrated in cash, while some of the MPs are limited to their salaries and minimal savings.
In the real estate category, Victoria Wagner took the lead, declaring a total of 1008 square meters. Her assets include at least four apartments in Kherson. Two of them have a small area (approximately 35-38 square meters) and are shared or registered together with her children. Another apartment of 34 square meters is owned by the MP in full; at the time of purchase, its value was 136 thousand hryvnias.
In addition to housing, the MP owns a land plot of 887 square meters in Kherson. In Kyiv, she has a share in a 52-square-meter apartment divided between her and her two children. The cost of this property exceeded one million hryvnias. She also uses another 116-square-meter apartment in the capital, which is formally registered to another person.
The second place was taken by Serhiy Kozyr with a total area of 348 square meters of family real estate. The MP himself owns a small apartment in Pavlohrad (28 square meters), purchased in 2014. He also has the right to use a house in Donetsk (44 square meters) and a land plot nearby, which are registered to another person.
The bulk of the property is registered in his wife's name: two apartments in Kyiv (91 and 46 square meters), a parking space and several apartments in Donetsk region with a total area of more than 160 square meters. A garden house in Kyiv with an area of more than 155 square meters, which belongs to a family member but is used as a residence, is listed separately. The declaration also includes garages in different regions registered through cooperatives.
Pavlo Pavlish took the third position with 162 square meters of real estate. He owns an apartment in Kherson (almost 70 square meters), where his family members are registered, as well as an office in the city with an area of 68 square meters. In addition, the MP has a share in a house in the village of Vilne and uses a land plot registered to a relative.
In 2022, a house in Khodosivka near Kyiv with an area of more than 200 square meters, which formally belongs to other persons but is used by the MP's family, appeared in the declaration. The situation is similar with the land plot nearby.
The last place in this list was taken by Volodymyr Ivanov. He declared the use of a 26-square-meter apartment in Kyiv, which is registered to another person. The MP himself lives there with his wife and daughter, but has no official ownership. The cost of the apartment is not indicated in the declaration.
In April, a deputy of one of Kherson's district councils was brought to trial for concealing his property. According to the investigation, he failed to indicate dozens of real estate objects worth millions of hryvnias in his declaration.
