Over 200,000: Which of Mykolaiv City Hall’s executives received the most vacation pay?

Among the city hall officials in Mykolaiv, Alexander Tsukanov, head of the Korabelny District Administration, received the highest amount of vacation pay and financial assistance over the first eight months of 2026—208,100 hryvnias.

This is according to a report by the Center for Public Investigations.

Analysts examined the payments made to 17 executives of the Mykolaiv City Council’s executive bodies for January–August 2026.

According to their data, almost all of the officials have already taken vacation time. The only exception is the head of the Department of Culture and Arts, for whom this cannot be determined: vacation pay was reported as a single lump sum along with sick leave and business travel expenses.

Only 10 out of 17 officials received health benefits. Therefore, the rest most likely took only a portion of their vacation time.
