📖 The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) will conduct a full inspection of Kivertsi mayor Oleksandr Kovalchuk
🚫 In the declaration — 0 square meters and an old Dacia. In real life — a house with a pool in Zhabka, a Land Cruiser registered to his mother and a second residence by a body of water
Oleksandr Kovalchuk did not list any real estate used or owned by his family in the 2025 declaration. He also reported no cash or bank savings. The only asset in his name is an official Dacia Logan (2007).
In 2025 year the mayor declared a salary of 930 thousand UAH — roughly 60 thousand UAH “net” per month. His wife, Iryna Kovalchuk, an entrepreneur who runs photo studios, reported 2,32 million UAH in annual income. How much of that is net profit is not visible in the declaration. The wife owns a Mercedes-Benz GL (2016). No apartments, houses, plots, or a single penny in bank accounts are listed.
Back in 2023 Kovalchuk told journalists: he lives in his mother’s house and “didn’t know” that such use had to be declared. Since then his declaration logic hasn’t changed. In the corrected declaration he filed the day he was supposed to meet the film crew from Sily pravdy, there is again no mother’s residence, no mother’s car, and no property in Bashlyky. There is only a note: the place of registration does not match actual residence.
Zhabka: the house they live in but which is not in the declaration
In fact, the mayor’s family lives in the village of Zhabka, in the Michurynets garden community. By readiness for operation declared, it’s a two-story house with five rooms, about 130 sq. m, plus outbuildings, a garage, and a log structure that looks like a sauna. The property is behind a tall fence, with a garden and a playground. A neighbor says there is also a pool; the Kivertsi head lives there and is approximately 6 years old and drives a jeep.
Officially the estate is registered to his mother — Oksana Kovalchuk. She bought the plot in 2019, and the house was built two years later. The woman herself lives in the village of Trostiantse, worked for over 40 years as a primary school teacher. About Zhabka she speaks reluctantly: “You talk to him there… we helped him a little too, so maybe he partially put something in my name.”
Land Cruiser for a pensioner who doesn’t sit behind the wheel
Near the house in Zhabka journalists did not see the declared Dacia. There was a Toyota Land Cruiser 2012 year — also registered to his mother. The pensioner bought it in October 2024. The license plate is almost a mirror of the daughter-in-law’s Mercedes plate; such a “nice” plate costs at least 18 thousand UAH on the market.
Oksana Kovalchuk says: her son “really wanted that jeep.” She has never driven it herself. Speeding and parking fines are sent to her. In two years there have been at least 15 tickets. “Sasha, another happy letter arrived,” she hands them to her son.
The mayor himself has about thirty more fines. The registry includes incidents of drunk driving: he rammed someone else’s car and fled the scene, knocked down a metal fence. After that the municipal official car broke down. The budget bought a new Renault Koleos — officially for the clinic. It never reached the medical facility. The head of the community drove it. Three years later — the car is still with him.
Bashlyky: a second residence on someone else’s land
About 40 km from Lutsk, in the village of Bashlyky, by a body of water another complex is being built: three houses behind a high fence — two wooden guest houses and a larger brick one. They are digging a pool by the main house. Anatolii Doroshuk, head of the Tsuman settlement, confirmed: Kovalchuk has been building for several years, comes with family and friends, and has inquired about adjacent plots.
25 sotok of land are registered to Lutsk resident Volodymyr Suliatytsky — likely the son of the former head of the Kivertsi city council’s architecture department. Suliatytsky Jr. lives in Germany; in 2024 he asked the Tsuman council to assign an address to the plot.
The construction has been accompanied by scandals. Sand was brought to the shore — locals suspected an unauthorized quarry nearby. The site was illegally connected to the power grid. The regional power company disconnected the subscriber and fined the plot owner in Germany. Attempts to reconnect were repeated. By court ruling the fines have already exceeded 170 thousand UAH.
