How the State Secret Allowance Was Calculated for Officials of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration

From January through August 2026, officials of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration received allowances for working with state secrets according to individual schedules. Some received regular monthly payments, while others received nothing.

This was reported by the Center for Public Investigations.

For example, Vitaliy Kim received an allowance for working with state secrets from January through June.

Georgiy Reshetilov, Mykola Marinov, and Valentin Haidarzhiwere paid this allowance throughout all eight months of the investigation.

Oleksandr Traitli received it only in January–March, while Vyacheslav Bazarenko received it in March, May, and June. Yuriy Granaturov was not paid this allowance during the period under review.

Among the heads of structural units, Mykola Berezhnyk, head of the Health Department, received the allowance for working with state secrets throughout January–August .

Three other heads of departments received it in specific months: Yuriy Yas’kiv in July, Andriy Greits in January, May, and June, and Vadym Bardovskyi in February–May and July.

The allowance for working with state secrets is a special monthly supplement to the base salary. It is paid to employees who have official clearance to access classified documents and work with them on a regular basis.

The amount of this allowance is set by the state and depends on the level of importance of the secrets entrusted to the individual. If an employee handles information of “special importance,” they receive an additional 20 percent of their salary. For work with documents classified as “top secret,” an additional 15 percent is added, and for those classified as “secret,” 10 percent.
