🔈 In Ukraine at least 30 members of parliament receive from the state budget each month 19,5 thousand UAH as compensation for renting housing in the capital.
A significant portion prefer to stay in state-run hotels, notably the HC "Kyiv." Others, at taxpayers' expense, rent huge apartments in the most expensive residential complexes.
Starting this year the size of the so-called "deputy" payments for exercising duties has tripled – now each people's deputy receives about 200 thousand UAH per month in addition to the basic salary. The substantial increase in funding does not prevent some parliamentarians from continuing to regularly submit the relevant claims and demand budget money to cover housing rent.
✔️ Maksym Berezin from the Servant of the People faction receives 19,5 thousand UAH per month from the state treasury for rent. According to his declaration, he lives in an apartment of 86,8 sq. m. The owner of this property is 71-year-old Svitlana Haidutska – the wife of the well-known NAAS academician Pavlo Haidutskyi. The apartment is located in a prestigious government quarter, although in an older departmental building. Apartments with similar characteristics in this area rent on average for about 30 thousand UAH per month – primarily due to the exclusive location. The MP does not own real estate in Kyiv; his only assets are several land plots in Poltava region.
✔️ His faction colleague Kyrylo Nesterenko is officially registered in an MES dormitory in Dnipro. Since September 2019 this 32-year-old parliamentarian has been renting an apartment of 106,9 sq. m, which belongs to Oleksii Kolesnichenko. Nesterenko also receives funds for this housing reliably from the state budget.
✔️ Servant of the People representative Oleksandr Kunaiev takes compensation to live in one of the capital’s most expensive and luxurious residential complexes. Since January 2024 he has been renting an apartment of 113,6 sq. m from Serhii Korzhov. The residential complex "Bulvar Fontaniv" is located in the Pecherskyi district. According to current listings, housing of similar size in the complex costs at least 76 thousand UAH per month. Before his election to the Verkhovna Rada Kunaiev worked in managerial positions at Motor Sich JSC. The deputy is now 34 years old.
✔️ Anton Shvachko (also from Servant of the People) rents a residence of 60,2 sq. m from Maryna Yevtushenko. The apartment is located on Instytutska Street (Alley of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred).
✔️ Pavlo Yakymenko of Servant of the People has been renting a huge apartment of 156,7 sq. m since January 2025. The owner of the property is 67-year-old agribusinessman Hennadii Lapitskyi. Lapitskyi privately owns at least 53 real estate objects, among them luxurious apartments in the capital’s most elite complexes: Busov Hill, "Novopecherski Lypky" and PecherSKY. The total value of Lapitskyi’s real estate can be estimated at tens of millions of dollars.
The 156,7 sq. m apartment is located in the Busov Hill residential complex, where the monthly rental price for similar space currently starts at 1,5 thousand USD.
