Business-class apartments and cars worth hundreds of thousands: journalists revealed the wealth of prosecutors from Kravchenko's era

Business-class apartments and cars worth hundreds of thousands: journalists revealed the wealth of prosecutors from Kravchenko's era

Approximately 15 months of Ruslan Kravchenko's tenure were remembered, among other things, for an attempt to subordinate NABU and SAP to the attorney general and for Operation “Carthage,” in the framework of which NABU and SAP notified a former subordinate of Kravchenko, Serhii Kropyva, of suspicion. According to the investigation, the group he organized received bribes for “protecting” call centers and laundered those funds.

At the same time, during Ruslan Kravchenko’s time as attorney general there were many personnel changes in the prosecutor’s office. Some officials were promoted, others held high positions for the first time.

Hromadske reports on those who advanced their careers under Kravchenko, and on the property that appeared in their families — both during that period and earlier.

Ivan Tymoshenko is 41 years old. His career path closely resembles Serhii Kropyva’s. Many years of service in the cyber police. In 2022 — a few months working in the Office of the Prosecutor General. Then — the Odesa Military Civil Administration under the leadership of Oleh Kiper.

In 2025 Tymoshenko returned from Odesa to the Office of the Prosecutor General — just like Kropyva. Both returned to the prosecutor’s office under Ruslan Kravchenko. According to the investigation, it was Kropyva who arranged for Tymoshenko to join the prosecutor’s office. In the position, according to the investigation, Tymoshenko, among other things, took care of Ruslan Kravchenko’s household matters.

“Vanya, order me, all these tickets are with Diana. Find out when we arrive in Madrid, and for the whole time in Madrid this room… Book some good room in this hotel. In this hotel and within a 10-minute walking radius from this hotel find some hotel. Well, where you can just have an official room, some budget one,” — a SAP prosecutor read aloud at a court hearing a fragment of a conversation between Serhii Kropyva and Ivan Tymoshenko.

In his most recent declaration Tymoshenko indicates that he rents an apartment in the Aristocrat residential complex in Pechersk with an area of 64 m². The official is originally from Rivne and does not own housing in Kyiv. Nor does his wife Tetyana Tymoshenko, who also lived in Rivne.

The woman worked at the Rivne maternity hospital. Online you can find her photo and position — obstetrician-gynecologist.

Then in August 2023 her medical career took a sharp turn. Tetyana Tymoshenko opened a sole proprietorship specializing in “restaurants and trade.” Four months later that year she declared income of 4,6 million hryvnias.

The amounts then only increased. And a month ago the official’s wife opened another sole proprietorship, this time for renting out real estate. But we found no public trace of any restaurant activity or trade.

Tetyana’s parents — the official’s parents-in-law — according to their social media, live in Rivne.

The father-in-law is 61-year-old Anatolii Hutsenko, who once ran for the Rivne city council. In his candidate profile he indicated that he is an anesthesiologist. There is no information about any business activity by the man in registries.

The official’s mother-in-law is 60-year-old Inna Hutsenko — also a doctor. In 2023 she filed a declaration as the head of a department at the Rivne Diagnostic Center. Then she declared 332 thousand hryvnias of salary for the year, that is almost 28 thousand hryvnias per month.

On 29 March 2023 the official’s mother-in-law managed to buy an apartment in Kyiv’s business-class residential complex Time. For 50 m² the woman officially paid over 1,2 million hryvnias, that is over 34 thousand dollars. Thus, one square meter in a Kyiv business-class complex cost the doctor from Rivne 683 dollars.

Here are prices from real listings for 2023 year. Over 2200 dollars per square meter for an apartment without renovation.

2900 dollars — per square meter in an apartment with renovation.

So in the real world the mother-in-law’s apartment could have cost from 111 thousand dollars, while Inna Hutsenko bought it three times cheaper. And this with a salary of almost 28 thousand hryvnias per month that same year.

Maybe income from entrepreneurship helped? But the mother-in-law opened her sole proprietorship more than two years after buying the apartment. The official’s daughter — Ivan Tymoshenko’s wife — did not have a sole proprietorship at the time of the apartment purchase.

In response to questions about the source of funds for the apartment purchase, Ivan Tymoshenko’s mother-in-law said: “Listen, I’m not your age to tell you how many years I’ve worked and how I earned this. Understand?”.

Later the prosecutor’s office reported that Ivan Tymoshenko was dismissed on 11 September. He himself does not answer journalists’ calls.

A car fleet worth over 200 thousand dollars

Yurii Kulyk is 48 years old. He now heads the Department of Organizational-Control Activity, Legal and Analytical Support of the Office of the Prosecutor General. Overall almost nothing is known about the official. But we did find some details.

In 2024 Kulyk received a salary at the Kyiv OVA. A man with the same surname, first name, and patronymic is listed among advisors to the head of the Kyiv OVA in 2024. At that time the Kyiv OVA was headed by none other than Ruslan Kravchenko.

On 21 June 2025 Kravchenko became attorney general. And already on 14 July — less than a month later — Kulyk filed a candidate declaration for the position of department head at the Office of the Prosecutor General. So it very much looks like Yurii Kulyk followed Kravchenko from the Kyiv OVA to the Office of the Prosecutor General. Parallel to that career path, his relatives began buying expensive cars.

The first such car, a Toyota Camry 2023 model year, was bought by the official’s mother Lyubov Kulyk in 2024, when he was still working at the Kyiv ODA. That same car is listed in Yurii Kulyk’s declaration, and he began using it the same day his mother bought it. The declared value is 1,5 million hryvnias, meaning the official’s mother paid over 40 thousand dollars for the car.

In April 2025 the official’s father Mykola Kulyk acquired a BMW X7 xDrive of the same model year. Today such a car can be bought for 120 thousand dollars.

Yurii Kulyk told us that his mother managed to buy the Toyota Camry from proceeds of selling cars the parents had used previously. And his father bought the BMW with his own funds, including money from the sale of a house in Khotianivka.

“To the best of my knowledge, the source of funds for its purchase (the car — ed.) were my father’s personal funds, including funds received from the disposal of property belonging to him. In particular, in August 2025 my father disposed of a privately owned residential house located in the village of Khotianivka, Vyshhorod district, Kyiv region,” Yurii Kulyk told journalists.

However, the father sold the house in August 2025 — four months after buying the BMW.

Already this summer Yurii Kulyk’s mother bought another BMW X4 xDrive 2022 model year. Such cars now can be bought for approximately 60 thousand dollars.

So one new car per year, and their estimated market value exceeds 200 thousand dollars. But where did the money come from?

The official’s father — 71-year-old Mykola Kulyk — has no business or sole proprietorship. The official’s mother — 71-year-old Lyubov Kulyk — neither. Their real estate consists of an old family apartment in Obolon and a house in Lebedivka with an area of 23 m². So how two pensioners have such funds is unclear.

Yurii Kulyk himself as of 2024 had 28 thousand dollars and over 30 thousand hryvnias in savings.

Lyubov Kulyk hung up when journalists tried to ask how she managed to buy the cars. The official’s father Mykola Kulyk answered succinctly: “I bought them — that’s it.”

Yurii Kulyk himself did not say what his mother did for a living, but noted that his father still works — as head of the Department of Security and Business Organization at LLC Energomanagement.

Ashot Ghevorkian is 34 years old. He has been in the prosecutor’s office since 2019. But it was in 2025 that he was promoted: from department head to head of the department for combating organized crime.

The official lives in the Novopechersky Quarter No. 5 residential complex, according to reports by the Anti-Corruption Center “Mezha.” Journalists noted that Ghevorkian’s strengthening position may have been related to his friendly relations with Kravchenko.

The official’s wife — now 30-year-old Alina Ghevorkian — acquired an apartment in Novopechersky Quarter No. 5 in 2021. Almost 62 square meters cost her 1,9 million hryvnias, or 70 thousand dollars. Although that same year apartments of the same size in this complex were sold for 120 thousand dollars.

The woman has a sole proprietorship, but she opened it only two years after buying the apartment. Before that Alina occasionally sold children’s items on marketplaces — we found no other business activity.

In the year of the apartment purchase relatives of the official and his wife gifted the couple money. The largest sum — 800 thousand hryvnias — was given by Ashot Ghevorkian’s father-in-law Vitalii Rudenko. Although he closed his own sole proprietorship for trade from stalls and markets back in 2019 and has no other business.

According to Ashot Ghevorkian himself, these funds were saved over their entire lives.

“Regarding the origin of the funds received as gifts from relatives, I can note that they were saved by them throughout their lives,” the official said.

The prosecutor’s wife, Alina Ghevorkian, told journalists she felt uncomfortable answering questions.

Last year Alina Ghevorkian became the owner of a Škoda Karoq 2022 model year, which she allegedly bought for over 20 thousand dollars. However, the same car was previously sold for 34 thousand dollars.

A similar strange story applies to the prosecutor’s mother’s car. In 2023 the now 51-year-old mother of the official, Svitlana Dolhoruk, bought a Škoda Kodiaq 2022 model year, which was being sold for over 40 thousand dollars, for four times less — only 10 thousand dollars.

Svitlana Dolhoruk has only been engaged in retail trade of clothing and footwear as a sole proprietor since 2022. And she has a company that, over eight years of existence, according to analytics platform YouControl, has net earnings of 199 300 hryvnias.

Ashot Ghevorkian explained the difference between the prices in listings and the prices declared by the official by saying that the sellers themselves had set those prices on the cars.

A Russian passport and two apartments

Daniil Trunin is 37 years old. He heads the Department for Oversight of Compliance with the Law by the bodies of the State Bureau of Investigation. The man moved to the Office of the Prosecutor General after Ruslan Kravchenko’s appointment. As early as August 2025 Trunin received a salary at the Kyiv city prosecutor’s office, and a few days later declared himself head of a department at the OPG.

The official’s mother, Iryna Trunina, in 2023 acquired ownership rights to two apartments in the Podil Plaza & Residence business-class complex. The total area is 108,2 m². The minimum market price per square meter in that complex then started from 1644 dollars. So the market value of the two apartments should have been from 6,5 million hryvnias, or almost 180 thousand dollars. But the prosecutor’s mother on 23 March 2023 paid for the ownership rights to the two apartments only just over 70 thousand dollars.

Daniil Trunin told the media that he uses one of his mother’s apartments. At the same time the official said he does not know whether the price for this real estate was market-based.

He also said that his mother “in 1997 engaged, alongside teaching activities before the occupation of the city of Luhansk, in entrepreneurial activity, which is currently discontinued, and was registered as a sole proprietor, accordingly she had funds to invest in real estate objects.”

The prosecutor’s mother has spent her life in academia. Since 2014 the woman has worked at Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University. She teaches management and marketing. The rector of this university, incidentally, now receives 60 838 hryvnias of salary per month.

Iryna Trunina refused to comment to us on the origin of the funds for the real estate.

According to database leaks, the prosecutor’s father Yurii Trunin received a Russian passport on 10 April 2019. The document is confirmed on the Russian tax website. Also, according to database leaks, the man since 2019 received a salary at the Russian company Gazprom Gazoraspredelenie Tver.

In his resume the man indicated that he wanted to work as a mechanical engineer.

Daniil Trunin told journalists that he “never communicated” with his biological father.
