Property on relatives, a successful wife-entrepreneur, controversial subordinates: a CV of the prosecutor of Khmelnytskyi region for the Ukrainian Center for Court Reform (UCCP)
It’s been a long time since we told about regional prosecutors, appointed without competition by the General Prosecutor under Zelenskiy. Meet Anton Kovalskyi, head of the Khmelnytskyi regional prosecutor’s office.
After the scandal around prosecutors with disabilities, which started exactly in Khmelnytskyi, there were expectations that the new head there would be a person with an impeccable reputation.
But, as you understand, those expectations were in vain. Below is our profile of prosecutor Kovalskyi.
▪️ In classic fashion, most property is registered to relatives, and his wife is a successful businesswoman.
From 2011, i.e., since the purchase, until 2022 year the prosecutor traveled in a car registered to his brother.
Since 2018 year Kovalskyi and his family have used an apartment in Vinnytsia with an area of 79 square meters.
The apartment, registered to his mother, was used by the prosecutor’s family immediately after purchase. So in fact it was bought for the needs of the prosecutor’s family.
At the same time, there are questions about the source of funds of the mother, who worked at a psychoneurological hospital. In 2019 year her income before tax amounted to 51 thousand UAH; in 2020 year — 72 thousand UAH; in 2021 year — 122,5 thousand UAH.
There were no savings during those years, so it is unclear how with such incomes one could buy an apartment.
▪️ Now about the wife, who was born in the Russian Federation. Since 2019 year a new Nissan Qashqai is registered to her. But in different declarations a different price for this car is indicated.
In March 2023 year Kovalskyi’s wife Oksana became a private entrepreneur (FE). Quite successfully.
Indeed, for not a full first year she earned a income of 5,2 million UAH. That is, if you trust the declared data, selling sports nutrition allowed earning over 500 thousand UAH per month.
Considering the specifics of the business, there are doubts about such a high income for the wife at the start of entrepreneurship.
▪️ Now about Kovalskyi’s deputies. One of his deputies is Maksym Kuterha. According to the investigation by hromadske.ua, in 2019 year he did not pass the certification and was dismissed from the prosecutor’s office.
However, in 2020 year he was reinstated through the Administrative Court of the Supreme Court (OASK) and won over 300 thousand UAH in compensation. Later obtained a lawyer’s license, working in a structure with a clear Tatar trace.
Only in 2024 year did Kuterha and his wife acquire property totaling about 325 thousand dollars (over 13 million UAH). Kuterha’s mother-in-law bought three real estate objects while working as a head of a pharmacy.
And there is also Kuterha’s father-in-law, who received suspicions from NABU, fled from Ukraine to Russia and was convicted in absentia for collaboration to 8 years in prison.
And what about another subordinate, the prosecutor of Khmelnytskyi regional prosecutor’s office Anton VendeI, who was recently fired because of an OnlyFans account? Moreover, part of his videos he shot in the service office and sent to court employees.

Such prosecutors fully satisfy the authorities, because loyalty to the system is valued far more than integrity and transparency.
❗️Therefore we demand the return of transparent competitions for the positions of heads of regional prosecutors’ offices, so that the practice of manual appointments goes to the past. This, by the way, is also demanded by the EU.
