💸🏛 “Care” for their own: five Kyiv regional council deputies suspected of channeling over 3 million UAH through relatives — investigative traces lead to Polyarush, Savchuk, Koltunov and former Opposition Bloc candidate and head of the regional dental service Polishchuk
💰♿️The regional program “Care” for people with disabilities, veterans, military personnel and families of the dead, which has been in effect since 2016 and to which roughly 384 million UAH was allocated just in the 2021–2025 years, was used by five Kyiv regional council deputies to illegally obtain over 3 million UAH through relatives and close associates.
🩺💳According to the prosecutor’s office, the scheme operated via fake or unsubstantiated medical documents: assistance was registered in the names of relatives, while the money was spent on dentistry, aesthetic medicine, luxury cars and other private needs. In some cases tens of thousands of hryvnias were returned to the deputies directly onto bank cards.
👥🔎The Office of the Prosecutor General has not yet named the suspects. At the same time, in earlier reporting around “Care” the deputies Oleksandr Polyarush, Yurii Savchuk and Ihor Koltunov already appeared — in publications about budget payments “for treatment” of relatives.
🚙🧾Another strong lead points to long-serving regional council deputy, now with For the Future, Stanislav Polishchuk, who in 2019 ran for parliament for the Opposition Bloc: in his 2018 declaration his mother Halyna Polishchuk was listed as the recipient of 22 960 UAH of “material assistance for treatment” from the Kyiv regional council. Polishchuk currently heads the regional dental clinic.
