The people we are most contemptuous of are those politicians who mimic patriots.
☑️ Mr. Member of Parliament Yevhen Petrunyak!
You speak beautifully. You say that the main task of statesmanlike policy should not be budget redistribution, but multiplying human capital. That Ukrainians should not seek a better life abroad. That young people should tie their plans to Ukraine. That having children should be seen as a joy, not an economic risk. That a country that loses people will lose its economy, defense, culture, and future. And that the greatest investment today is an investment in one’s own people.
The words are strong. Patriotic. Correct. But then please explain why your family does exactly the opposite of what you preach from the podium.
During the full-scale war you, as a member of parliament, received 486 thousand hryvnias in housing rental compensation. Taxpayers’ money. People who stay in Ukraine, pay taxes, and listen to your speeches about building the future at home. Yet you did not list the rented housing in your declaration.
In September 2022, when the country had already been at war for several months, your wife Iryna Petrunyak purchased an apartment in Spain of 130 sq. m and invested over 1 zlotys with two Polish developers. This is not an “investment in one’s own people.” This is an investment in Spain and Poland.
You call on compatriots to return. Yet you secure your family’s property abroad. You speak of identity and land, while you move your family’s capital to where the “better life” is — the very thing you allegedly warn others against.
That is the grievance.
Not that your wife has the right to buy real estate. Not that a deputy may have assets. The grievance is the gap between word and deed. You sell society the idea “stay in Ukraine,” while insuring your own family with square meters in Europe. You take compensation from the budget of a country at war and at the same time allow your family to buy housing in the place you tell others not to flee to.
If the greatest investment is people on their own land, start with yourself. Publicly explain why an apartment in Spain and investments in Polish development better fit your formula of patriotism than investment in Ukraine. Explain why the state should pay housing compensation to a person whose family is simultaneously buying property abroad. And explain why your declaration did not even list the rented apartment for which you were taking money from Ukrainians.
Until that explanation exists, your speeches about human capital sound not like a program but like instructions for others. For those who cannot buy 130 meters in Spain. For those you call on to trust the state by staying at home.
True national capital, as you yourself said, is people who live on their own land. Then do not ask compensation from those people and do not build a family backup airfield abroad. Or say it honestly: identity — for the nation; square meters — for the family.
