The head of the Fire Support Organization Sector of the Operational Directorate of the State Border Guard Service Protection Department of the SBSU, Yevhen Voytenko, has been exposed for significant declaration violations related to cryptocurrency.
The declaration check of 2024 was conducted from 15 December 2025 to 1 June 2026, and its term was extended due to untimely responses to requests.
As a result of the inspection, it was established that the declarant provided false information totaling 4,86 million hryvnias. This contains signs of Part 1 of Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The largest portion of the discrepancies concerns cryptocurrency. Voytenko declared 1,25 bitcoin on the MEXC exchange valued at 4,75 million hryvnias as of 15 December 2024. NACP did not confirm this information.
🚫 The official’s explanations were contradictory: in the declaration the asset was listed as being held on an exchange, while in explanations he referred to losing a Tangem Wallet hardware wallet along with the private keys. According to the exchange and SBU investigation materials, the corresponding assets were not present on the MEXC account. No proof of expenditures to purchase the bitcoins on the stated date was provided.
Crypto assets on Binance were also not shown separately: 411,23 USDT (17 thousand hryvnias), small balances of EthereumPoW, Bitcoin, First Digital USD, Ethereum Classic, Ethereum and Polygon totaling 17 thousand hryvnias. For Litecoin the official indicated 13,56 coins valued at 67 541 hryvnia with an acquisition date of 11 March 2023. According to the exchange, the asset was acquired on 9 December 2024, and the actual quantity was 7,64 coins. The difference is 25,7 thousand hryvnias. Also not declared was the wife’s Bonk cryptocurrency (3 thousand coins, 3,86 hryvnias).
In the real estate section Voytenko listed an apartment in Kyiv that he rents, but did not indicate his wife’s and children’s right to use it, although they actually lived there during the reporting period.
Regarding the Renault Megane (2013), he declared a value of 220 thousand hryvnias, whereas the vehicle registry records 10 thousand hryvnias as of the date the right was acquired. The explanation that it was purchased for 8,8 thousand dollars was taken into account by the agency, since the amount correlates with market prices, and the difference was not included in the total amount of false information.
In the income section the wife’s social benefits (28 thousand hryvnias) were not shown. NACP did not establish whether the official was aware of these payments, so they were classified as inaccurate information.
In monetary assets, funds in PrivatBank were listed as a single sum of 185,6 thousand hryvnias instead of separately 66,8 thousand hryvnias and 4,4 thousand dollars. The National Agency did not find signs of illicit enrichment or unreasonableness of assets. The accuracy of the valuation of other declared assets corresponds to the available sources.
