The salaries of officials of Mykolaiv City Council and the regional military administration include not only salaries and bonuses, but also significant additional payments, which are used to address social and domestic issues even in times of war. Officials' declarations indicate that most of them have foreign currency savings and property, including land plots, apartments, and cars.
