Krivonoss noted that NABU forwarded to SBU information about possible Russian passports of the former MP and his control over business in the occupied territories.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau twice appealed to the Security Service to initiate sanctions before the National Security and Defense Council against the former Member of Parliament from the Party of Regions. However, the special service refused to do so. This was stated by NABU director Semen Krivonoss during a briefing, according to a correspondent of Glavkom.
Krivonoss clarified that this concerns the former MP who journalists recently spotted in Monaco (Yuriy Ivaniushchenko, – Glavkom).
"We twice appealed to the SBU with a request to introduce sanctions against a well-known former regional deputy, who was later seen by journalist Tkach in Monaco," said the NABU director.
Krivonoss said that the SBU first reported the lack of grounds for imposing sanctions. After that NABU sent a second appeal.
"We clarified and said that on your own resources (on the SBU website, – Glavkom) it was noted that this person (Yuriy Ivaniushchenko, – Glavkom) is an agent of the FSB's Fifth Service, and provided a transcript from their July video 2025 year," Krivonoss said.
Krivonoss also noted that NABU forwarded to the SBU information about possible Russian passports of this former MP and his control over business on temporarily occupied territories.
Earlier, media reported that the Security Service of Ukraine did not find sufficient information about harm in NABU's request to impose sanctions on the former MP from the now-prohibited Party of Regions Yuriy Ivaniushchenko. The SBU replied 22 in April that the NABU request "does not contain sufficient information about Ivaniushchenko Y.V.'s harm to national security." The SBU's reply noted that the agency was ready to reconsider proposals for applying sanctions against Ivaniushchenko "in case they are revised."
As a reminder, at the beginning of September 2025 year NABU announced suspicions against Yuriy Ivaniushchenko, Vladyslava Molchanova, the former head of the Kyiv regional department of the State Geocadastre Mykola Tereshchenko, and two other persons under Part 5 of Article 191 (appropriation, embezzlement of property or wrongful use of it through abuse of official position) and Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (legalization (laundering) of income derived from criminal activity).
According to the investigation, in spring 2021 during a corporate conflict for control over the 'Stolychnyi' market on the outskirts of Kyiv, they decided to transfer market assets to controlled legal entities and individuals. This involved nine land plots totaling 18 hectares. Based on forged transactions, the land was sold to three companies connected with Molchanova.
In October of last year, the High Anti-Corruption Court (VAKS) arrested Ivaniushchenko in absentia. However, in December it was canceled.
By the way, in March 2026 year the NABU appealed to President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Security Service to initiate sanctions against the former MP from the Party of Regions Yuriy Ivaniushchenko, who is a defendant in the case of fraud with land at the 'Stolychnyi' market.
Subsequently, in June 2026 year the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court granted the appeal of the SAP prosecutor and chose preventive measure in the form of detention for the former regional party MP Yuriy Ivaniushchenko.
Note that Yuriy Ivaniushchenko left Ukraine in December 2014 and now lives with his family in Monaco. In January 2015 he was declared wanted on suspicion of appropriation and misappropriation of property through abuse of office, as well as extortion and obtaining improper benefits by a public official. In 2017 the Supreme Court of Ukraine closed all criminal proceedings against him. That same year his name was removed from the EU sanctions lists.
