People's deputies from Kherson region earned almost 4 million per year

The annual declarations of MPs from Kherson region showed their real incomes, including millions in salaries, pensions, and social benefits. Those who earn the most are those who have not only their deputy salary but also additional state and family income.

TheCenter for Public Investigations, together with Intent, found that the largest amounts of declared funds are concentrated in cash, while some MPs are limited to salaries and minimal savings.

The highest income was declared by Viktoriia Vagner - over a million hryvnias per year. This amount is based on her salary as an MP in the Verkhovna Rada - about 769 thousand hryvnias.

In addition, she received more than UAH 152 thousand in pension from the Main Department of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in Kherson Oblast.
