The figures in the National Anti-Corruption Bureau’s “Forrest Gump” case, Iryna Mudra (former deputy head of the Office of the President) and former MP Maksym Mykytas, lived together, despite the fact that as recently as 2025 year Mudra’s declaration listed a common-law husband, Pavlo Polyarush, and a son, Lev.
This was reported by Ukrainski Novyny (Ukrainian News).
"They lived together," one interlocutor said. Another confirmed and added that the relationship lasted a long time.
The fact of cohabitation and their close relationship were confirmed by NABU searches that took place on the morning of 19 August (around 7 a.m.). According to Ukrainski Novyny’s sources, during the searches NABU detectives found Maksym Mykytas at Mudra’s place.
Mykytas himself divorced his wife back in 2021. At that time, his wife Nataliya filed for divorce in court. The court dissolved the marriage. They have two children together (two daughters). Meanwhile, in 2025 year Iryna Mudra lived with her common-law husband, National Bank official Pavlo Polyarush, and her son Lev.
During the court hearing on choosing a preventive measure for her, Mudra confirmed that she had a close relationship with Mykytas. "This person was close to me, I trusted him. He spoke. I listened. He recorded me," Mudra said, referring to Mykytas.
