New Minister of Justice Publishes List of His Advisors (document) – Suspicion

Minister Denys Maslov has four full-time advisors

The new Minister of Justice, Denys Maslov, who before his appointment was a people's deputy from Servant of the People and chaired the parliamentary Committee on Legal Policy, has formed a team of four full-time advisors. This is stated in the Hlavkom article “The Eyes and Ears of Koretsky’s Government. The full list of the prime minister’s and his ministers’ advisors.”

One of Maslov’s advisors is Tymur Longinenko, with whom the minister worked for a long time back in the Verkhovna Rada. Longinenko was his paid advisor since September 2020. Before working in parliament, Maslov and Longinenko also worked together at the Dnipro company Avin Trade.

Another advisor, Maksym Svisenko, joined Maslov’s team after working with former Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery Oleksii Kuleba. Svisenko worked with Kuleba for almost two years. Before that, for a year he served as an advisor in the patronage service of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration.

The other two advisors — Nadiia Kapustina and Mariia Trusova — come from the Ministry of Justice system. Kapustina worked in the Department of Private Law, while Trusova headed the Department of Commercial and Economic Activity of the state enterprise National Information Systems.

Minister of Justice Denys Maslov has four paid advisors

Salary amounts for certain advisors for July 2026 are also known. Tymur Longinenko received 50,7 thousand UAH, while Maksym Svisenko’s salary was 3,4 thousand UAH. Such a gap in amounts is likely explained by the fact that Longinenko was Maslov’s paid parliamentary assistant and moved to the ministry’s position. Svisenko joined the minister’s team only after the new Minister of Justice was appointed.

Recall that Denys Maslov was considered a candidate for the post of Minister of Justice as early as the end of 2025, and in January 2026 his candidacy was publicly named in the Office of the President. At that time the appointment did not take place, in part due to difficulties finding a replacement for Maslov as head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Legal Policy.

Particular attention was drawn to the politician’s family declarations. Maslov’s wife, Anna, received significant monetary gifts from her father, Borys Kalyuta, over several years. In 2025 alone the amount of such a gift was 3,5 million UAH, and in previous years the amounts were hundreds of thousands and millions of hryvnias.

Kalyuta is a co-owner of the agricultural company Dnipro-Bilohirya LLC, among whose co-owners there were citizens of Russia. In particular, until 2021 the enterprise’s share was held by Vladimir Zotov, a deputy of the Belgorod Regional Duma from United Russia, whom the SBU in 2023 charged with financing actions aimed at changing Ukraine’s territorial boundaries. Kalyuta himself was not charged in that proceeding.

Finally, on 16 July 2026 the Verkhovna Rada appointed Denys Maslov Minister of Justice as part of the new Cabinet of Ministers. That same day the government also included, among others, Ivan Vyhivskyi, Mykola Kalashnyk, Vitalii Kim, Taras Vysotskyi and other new ministers.
