From NACP to million-hryvnia tenders: how the Deputy Head of the Recovery Agency, Yuriy Sverba, acquired elite housing

But reality sometimes brings plenty of surprises. The Deputy Head of the State Agency for Restoration and Development of Infrastructure, Yuriy Sverba, who previously taught others about integrity at the NACP, has found himself in the spotlight because of an unusually comfortable lifestyle. An apartment worth nearly six million, free parking spaces from suppliers of state monopolies, and astonishing loans from close associates.

This is reported by Komentari.

The ethics advocate with new housing in the capital

When an official is responsible for procurement, price control, and integrity, his own declarations attract special attention. Yuriy Sverba took his position in the fall of 2024, bringing experience leading the integrity policy department at the NACP. Yet the assets and purchases of the official himself raise many questions among ordinary citizens.

In May of 2024, Mr. Sverba became the owner of a spacious apartment of more than 85 square meters in a residential complex in the capital. The property's value varies across documents from five and a half to nearly six million hryvnias. That amount is considerable for a civil servant, especially compared to the official annual salary, which, while higher than the national average, still does not account for such rapid purchases of elite real estate.

Where the money came from: astonishing loans and generous partners

Questions about the sources of funding for such purchases always draw the most interest. Looking at the official savings of the official in previous years and his salary, the numbers don’t add up immediately. Close associates came to the rescue.
