Daniil Trunin Did Quite Well for Himself: The Prosecutor’s Mother Bought Two Apartments in Kyiv During the War

The mother of prosecutor Daniil Trunin, Iryna Trunina, in March 2023 purchased two apartments with a total area of 108,2 sq. m in the Kyiv residential complex Podil Plaza & Residence, and Daniil Trunin himself declared the right to reside in one of them. According to the declaration for 2025, ownership of an apartment with an area of 54,1 sq. m was acquired on 23 March 2023, and its value on the date of acquisition was 1 298 400 UAH.

According to a piece published on 24 September, Iryna Trunina purchased both properties on 23 March 2023. The article's authors estimate the combined market value of the two apartments at at least 6,5–6,6 million UAH, while the total price listed in the article amounted to more than 70 thousand dollars. At the same time, the market value calculation depends on the specific parameters of the apartments, the terms of the deal, and prices at the relevant stage of construction, the media write. NACP data confirm the presence in Trunin’s declaration of an apartment with an area of 54,1 sq. m in Kyiv, whose owner is listed as Iryna Trunina. Daniil Trunin himself is listed as a resident with the right of residence. The date of acquiring the right is 23 March 2023, and the declared value of the property on the date of acquisition is 1 298 400 UAH. Daniil Trunin, in a comment cited in the article, confirmed using one of the apartments. At the same time, the prosecutor said he does not know how closely the purchase price matched the market price at the time of the transaction. Thus, the question of the actual value of the property and the reasons for the difference between the transaction price and the cited market estimate remain separate from the fact that his mother declared ownership. The Podil Plaza & Residence complex is located in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv on Hlybochytska Street. On the project’s website the complex is positioned as premium-class housing and has a gated territory, underground parking, retail and office spaces, and fitness and SPA facilities. In Trunin’s open declaration for 2025, a house in Luhansk with an area of 95,8 sq. m is also listed, owned by Iryna Trunina, and the declaration indicates the signs of a third-party right as provided by anti-corruption legislation. The document was submitted on 15 March 2026 and confirms that Daniil Trunin continued to perform state functions during the reporting period. Earlier declarations also contain information about property and use of housing related to the Trunin family. In the declaration for 2018, a residential house in Luhansk is listed as owned by Iryna Trunina, as well as an apartment in Kyiv with an area of 30 sq. m that Daniil Trunin rented from a private individual. Daniil Trunin himself heads the division related to oversight of law compliance by the State Bureau of Investigations in the Office of the Prosecutor General. In public materials his activities are considered in the context of the prosecutorial unit that exercises procedural supervision over the relevant criminal proceedings.

According to Daniil Trunin, his mother Iryna Trunina for a long time combined academic and entrepreneurial activity. He claims that before the occupation of Luhansk she ran a business, which she later stopped, and could have accumulated funds to invest in real estate. This version explains the source of funds from the prosecutor’s position but is not a documented assessment of his mother’s financial situation. Iryna Trunina is affiliated with Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University, where, according to the provided data, she has worked since 2014 and teaches management and marketing. Iryna Trunina herself did not publicly comment on the origin of the funds used to purchase the Kyiv real estate. Separately, the article raises the question concerning the prosecutor’s father, Yurii Trunin. The authors cite data from database leaks and assert that on 10 April 2019 he allegedly obtained a Russian passport. The article also mentions his possible work since 2019 at the Russian company Gazprom Gazoraspredelenie Tver. These details do not come from Daniil Trunin’s official declaration but from databases whose origin and reliability require separate verification. To assess the property circumstances it is important to distinguish ownership from use. In the declaration for 2025 the apartment of 54,1 sq. m is registered to Iryna Trunina, while Daniil Trunin is listed as the person with the right of residence. The NACP separately records the date of acquiring the right, the property’s value, and information about the owner. Information about the second apartment of 54,1 sq. m in the provided article is not accompanied by a separate declaration entry shown in the publication. At the same time, the total area of the two properties — 108,2 sq. m — matches the data on two apartments that the article’s authors associate with Iryna Trunina. It is precisely the difference between the declared purchase price and the cited market valuation that formed the basis for questions about this transaction. As of 24 September 2026, the confirmed document remains the declaration in which Iryna Trunina is listed as the owner of an apartment of 54,1 sq. m, and Daniil Trunin as its user. Data on the source of funds, the second apartment, the real market price of the properties, and information regarding Yurii Trunin’s Russian passport require additional verification against primary documents. The mere fact that the prosecutor’s mother purchased real estate does not prove a law violation or illegal origin of funds.
