📖 Close relatives of People’s Deputy from Servant of the People Kyrylo Nesteranko are implicated in a scheme for selling apartments in a residential complex near Kyiv that allows for significantly reducing taxes.
Nesteranko has only one official source of income — his salary as a People’s Deputy of about 55 thousand hryvnias per month. At the same time, during the three years of the full-scale war he made at least 14 trips abroad, including to Spain, Monaco, Nice, Italy, Germany, and Austria. His most recent trip is dated 16 January 2025 — to a ski resort. In Ukraine the deputy frequently visits expensive Kyiv restaurants and hotels, where an evening can cost 400–500 dollars.
The deputy’s father, Oleksandr Nesteranko, and brother, Yehor Nesteranko, during the five years of his term in the Verkhovna Rada purchased property in the residential complex “Lvivskyi Zatyshok” (formerly “Lvivskyi Maietok”) in Sofiivska Borshchahivka totaling more than 200 thousand dollars. These are apartments, non-residential premises, parking spaces, and garages.
All of these objects were bought exclusively from people and entities connected to the developer MDS-Bud LLC: from its director Anna Dubchak, technical supervision engineer Valerii Omelianenko, the company itself, and People’s Deputy from the For the Future group Viktor Myalych. Myalych previously was a founder and chief financial officer of MDS-Bud.
The scheme described by investigators works like this. Apartments in the complex are registered to individuals rather than to the developer company. When selling, an individual pays 5 percent tax instead of the 18 percent that a legal entity would have to pay. Some of the properties purchased by Nesteranko’s relatives were later resold at twice the purchase price.
It was by a similar scheme that law enforcement previously accused Viktor Myalych of tax evasion on 118 million hryvnias. After a criminal case was opened against him in 2021, according to the investigation, relatives of Kyrylo Nesteranko were involved in selling real estate to circumvent the higher taxation.
There are no official confirmations from tax or law enforcement authorities in the piece specifically about this scheme involving the Nesteranko family. What is documented is a chain of transactions between the deputy’s relatives and entities connected to Myalych and MDS-Bud.
