In June 2026, Brigadier General Yurii Raltsev, deputy chief of staff of the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, received 4 549 068 UAH in budgetary compensation for improving housing conditions. The payment was made by the Solomianskyi District State Administration of Kyiv, although, according to the NACP’s audit and analyzed documents, the serviceman’s family owns at least five apartments and a house in Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia.
As the media write, Raltsev received the funds from a state budget subvention to compensate the cost of housing for military personnel and other persons who defended independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. In May 2026, the Kyiv City Military Administration allocated 548,29 million UAH among the city’s districts. The Solomianskyi district’s share was 62 million UAH. Special attention to the general’s property status is drawn by the NACP’s audit results of his declaration for 2023. The agency found violations of anti-corruption legislation and identified false information. Some of the claims concerned property and funds connected to the serviceman’s family.
In particular, the NACP examined a flat on Kyiv’s Rusanivka owned by the general’s father, Oleksandr Raltsev. In April 2023 it was purchased for 1,22 million UAH. At the same time, an apartment of similar size in the same building was being sold for 120 thousand dollars, or about 5,4 million UAH according to the calculation provided in the materials. The difference between the purchase price and the stated market value is several million hryvnias.
Yurii Raltsev himself told the NACP that he gave 620 thousand UAH to his father to buy the apartment. According to him, the money was received as a social payment related to his health condition. However, the agency did not receive confirmation of the origin of these funds, according to the audit.
The list of the family’s real estate does not end there. According to the audit materials, Raltsev’s father bought a house in Zaporizhzhia in 2015 and an apartment in Kyiv in 2016. In December 2022 the family acquired another apartment in Zaporizhzhia. Its purchase, according to the provided data, was financed by a loan from Ihor Mamula.
Mamula’s name also appears in a separate context. He likely worked at SE “Hotel Kozatskyi,” which used to be under the Ministry of Defense’s management. In 2021 Mamula filed a lawsuit over wage arrears of 69 thousand UAH. Both Mamula and Raltsev are registered in Zaporizhzhia.
Another apartment belongs directly to Yurii Raltsev. According to the declaration of Yurii Poluliashchenko, head of the Luhansk Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support, he has been using the general’s housing since 2022. Thus, one of Raltsev’s apartments is effectively provided for use by another high-ranking military official.
Poluliashchenko was previously a deputy of the Starobilsk District Council from the Party of Regions, and in 2019 he ran for the Verkhovna Rada as an independent candidate. He is from Starobilsk, where his family owns land and real estate. The city itself has been under Russian occupation since 2022.
The property picture is completed by an apartment in Zaporizhzhia purchased in October 2018 by Anna Lymonova — Raltsev’s wife and the mother of his daughter. Later, a court addressed the issue of removing the son of the apartment’s former owner from the registration.
Thus, based on available data, the brigadier general’s family owns at least two apartments in Kyiv, three apartments and a house in Zaporizhzhia. At the same time, Raltsev himself in 2026 received 4,55 million UAH from the budget specifically as compensation for housing he was eligible to receive. Against the NACP’s findings of false information in the declaration, this raises questions not only about the family’s property volume but also about the grounds on which the general was recognized as needing improved housing conditions. The legality and justification of the payment should be assessed by the competent authorities.
