💰 Who in the Verkhovna Rada earns the most and who receives nothing — research by the Chesno Movement
The average actual salary of a people's deputy together with allowances is about 60 thousand hryvnias per month. The leaders in parliamentary income are members of the presidium and committee chairs, who have access to maximum allowances (for work intensity, academic degrees, honorary titles, etc.).
The highest earner is Ruslan Stefanchuk — the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada tops the list with an average monthly salary of about 94 thousand UAH. Also among the best-paid deputies are the head of the Foreign Policy Committee Oleksandr Merezhko (about 84 thousand UAH/month), Valeriy Zub and Hryhoriy Mamka (about 82 thousand UAH/month), as well as the head of the Tax Committee Danylo Hetmantsev (about 77 thousand UAH/month).
Among factions, the highest average payments were recorded for deputies of European Solidarity (on average 65 thousand UAH), which is related to high attendance rates and additional payments.
Completely without payments in the Verkhovna Rada are those deputies who systematically skip sessions without valid reasons, fled Ukraine, or have been declared wanted. In particular, salaries are not paid to deputies such as Artem Dmytruk, Yaroslav Dubnevych, and Serhiy Shakhov. In total there are at least seven such deputies: they retain their mandates and submit electronic declarations, but payments for parliamentary activity have been stopped.
