Members of Parliament—millionaires received 30 million hryvnias in housing compensation from the budget
Over 10 months 170 MPs from other cities received 30,1 million hryvnias from the state as budget compensation for housing in Kyiv.
This is stated in an investigation by "Slidstvo.Info."
It is noted that 75% of those receiving compensation are members of the presidential faction "Servant of the People." Half of the "servants" received the budget "housing" compensation.
Thus, "Servant of the People" deputy Andriy Klochko, for whom this is his first term in parliament, has received nearly 80 thousand hryvnias in compensation for renting housing in the capital since the start of his tenure.
"Klochko was born and registered in Kyiv. His relatives and his wife's relatives have long owned two apartments in the capital of 75 and 65 square meters. Nevertheless, the deputy decided to rent another apartment in Kyiv of 101 sq. m at state expense," the piece says.
The deputy explained that he rents housing because there is no room for his family in the apartments owned by his relatives, and buying his own housing is expensive.
"Look at the prices being asked for apartments now. I never had housing. I'm not the kind of person who needs to buy housing," Klochko said.
At the same time, the deputy indicated sizable savings in his declaration: 200 thousand dollars and 1,3 million hryvnias in cash.
"These are my personal savings and I will decide personally how to spend them," Klochko replied when asked why, having such savings, he turned to the state for help.
Mykola Skoryk, a deputy of the last two convocations ("Opposition Platform — For Life"), received 180 thousand hryvnias in compensation from the budget.
According to Skoryk's declaration, he and his wife use an apartment in Kyiv free of charge that belongs to former head of Odesa Port Mykola Pavlyuk.
However, Skoryk also decided to rent a hotel room in the capital at state expense.
Independent deputy Ruslan Trebushkin received more than 118 thousand hryvnias in compensation from the state budget.
"However, it is unclear what he spent these funds on, since the politician did not declare hotel rooms, but only indicated that his wife uses an apartment in Kyiv of 110 square meters free of charge on the basis of a loan-for-use agreement," the article states.

As noted, there are also deputies who officially do not have housing in Kyiv but did not apply for compensation from the state either.
"In particular, 'Servant of the People' deputy Ihor Herasymenko lists his place of residence in his declaration as the city of Zhytomyr. At the same time, he does not officially own real estate in Kyiv. And he does not receive compensation for renting housing in the capital. 'Servant of the People' Serhiy Lytvynenko, judging by his declaration, owns real estate in Rivne and Zakarpattia regions, while he has no housing in Kyiv. However, he does not receive compensation from the state budget. Oleksandr Koltunovych from OPZZh listed his place of residence as the city of Lutsk in Volyn. He does not declare any real estate in Kyiv, but he also does not take compensation from the state for its rent,' the investigation says.
