Arsenii Pushkarenko, a people’s deputy from Servant of the People and deputy chair of the parliamentary Committee on Foreign Policy, has come under scrutiny following published details about his relatives’ property, cars, and land holdings. According to a journalistic investigation, his common-law wife Lyudmyla Yenina owns a 101 plot of land totaling nearly 198 hectares, and family members use expensive cars and own real estate in Kyiv. Separate questions concern changes in land records, an apartment gifted to his sister, and a Mazda CX-9 mentioned in court materials but missing from the deputy’s declaration for the corresponding year.
Arsenii Pushkarenko was born on 10 October 1992 in Kyiv. According to open biographical data, in 2007 he became an assistant to people’s deputy Pavlo Movchan, and later worked with representatives of Batkivshchyna and other parliamentarians. In 2019 Pushkarenko received a mandate on the Servant of the People list at number 81. Before entering parliament he also worked in public organizations and structures related to interparliamentary and international activities, media report. Currently Arsenii Pushkarenko serves as deputy chair of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Policy and heads the interparliamentary group for relations with Estonia. Relations with that country became one of the most resonant episodes of his activity. In September 2026 media reported accusations by Estonian officials of pressure on representatives of the Estonian Centre for International Development ESTDEV and the foreign minister. According to published information, the dispute concerned allocation of aid for the reconstruction of Zhytomyr region. Reports also said working contacts with the deputy were suspended. These statements require consideration taking into account the positions of all parties to the conflict.
In Pushkarenko’s political past there are other controversial episodes. Media report that in January 2021 he participated in a rally in Zaporizhzhia in support of Motor Sich co-owner Vyacheslav Bohuslaiev. In October 2022 the Security Service of Ukraine detained Bohuslaiev on suspicion of cooperating with Russia and supplying engines for Russian military aviation. The deputy’s participation in the rally occurred before Bohuslaiev’s detention and by itself does not prove Pushkarenko’s involvement in the crimes alleged against him.
Pushkarenko also supported legislative initiatives that drew public criticism. These include urban development bill No. 5655, which opponents said risked weakening public oversight of construction, and bill No. 12414, provisions of which sparked debate about the independence of anti-corruption bodies. When evaluating these votes, it is important to distinguish political criticism of decisions from evidence of personal wrongdoing.
Court materials also include a civil case filed by Yuliia Tymoshenko for protection of honor, dignity, and business reputation. Among the defendants were Arsenii Pushkarenko and the company NASH 365, associated with the TV channel NASH. In November 2023 the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv closed the preparatory proceedings and scheduled the case for substantive consideration. The mere fact of participation in a civil proceeding does not establish the defendant’s guilt.
The largest share of assets among the mentioned family members, according to the investigation, is concentrated with Lyudmyla Yenina — Arsenii Pushkarenko’s common-law wife. The published data indicate she owns 101 plots of land totaling 197,86 hectares in Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Cherkasy regions. The publication estimates their combined value at approximately 6,565 million hryvnias. That is the authors’ estimate, not an independently verified market value for all the plots.
A separate issue is the changing number of land assets in available data. According to the investigation citing the analytical platform Opendatabot, in 2021 Yenina was listed as owning 101 plot, in 2023 — 50, and in 2024 again 101. Such dynamics require explanation: without a history of registration operations it is impossible to determine whether sales and repurchases took place, or whether the changes relate to how the data are displayed. That is why it is important to compare registry entries with documents on acquisition and disposal of land.
According to the publication, on 17 January 2026 Lyudmyla Yenina purchased a Porsche Macan 2021 model year, which the authors estimated at about 46 thousand dollars. In July of the same year she acquired a Toyota RAV4 2012 model year, estimated at roughly 14,5 thousand dollars. The investigation also notes that Yenina previously worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was an adviser to the first deputy chair of the Verkhovna Rada, and was registered as an individual entrepreneur. These facts alone do not prove the assets are inconsistent with her income, but they justify checking the sources of funding for the purchases.
The publication also mentions the deputy’s mother, Olesia Sandakova. Published data indicate she owns an apartment in the residential complex “French Quarter 2” in Kyiv; the authors estimate the market value of comparable housing at about 320 thousand dollars. Also, in December 2025 she purchased a Volvo XC90 2023 model year, and in January 2026 she bought a Volvo EX30 Cross Country 2025 model year. The approximate prices for these vehicles cited in the investigation are about 51,5 thousand and 51 thousand dollars respectively.
In Arsenii Pushkarenko’s declaration history there is a transaction for an apartment of 49,5 square meters in the Kyiv residential complex Cardinal. According to the declaration, the deputy bought it in 2019 and in 2024 gifted it to his sister Khrystyna Pushkarenko while retaining the right to reside there. The publication values a comparable apartment at about 238 thousand dollars. That figure is a market-based reference, not a confirmed transaction price.
Pushkarenko declared a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 2020 model year, purchased in November that year for nearly 1,8 million hryvnias. Part of the cost was covered by a loan of more than 685 thousand hryvnias. At the same time, court materials in a traffic accident case of 2021 mention a Mazda CX-9 associated with the deputy. The investigators note that this vehicle does not appear in Pushkarenko’s declaration for the corresponding year, either among owned assets or assets in use. To determine whether declaration rules were violated, it is necessary to establish the vehicle’s factual owner, the basis for the deputy’s use of it, and the circumstances reflected in the court documents.
The published information raises specific questions about the sources of funds used to acquire property, changes in Lyudmyla Yenina’s land portfolio, and the circumstances of the use of a Mazda CX-9. However, market value estimates, information from open registries, and mentions in court materials do not replace verification of incomes, contracts, and declarations. According to the investigators, they are preparing a request to the National Agency on Corruption Prevention. The results of any possible inspection should show whether there are grounds for official claims against the deputy or members of his family.
