Acting Prosecutor General Kovalskyi Revealed His Salary – Glavcom

Kovalskyi: I also receive a salary as a regional prosecutor

Acting Prosecutor General Anton Kovalskyi reported how much salary he receives. He noted this during a closed meeting with the media attended by Glavcom.

According to Kovalskyi, the salary amounts to 100 thousand UAH. “The position of head of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Prosecutor’s Office remains with me. I also receive a salary as a regional prosecutor (this refers to 100 thousand UAH per month – Glavcom),” he clarified.

Kovalskyi said this is a decent level. He added that in district prosecutor’s offices prosecutors earn 50 thousand UAH. In his view, that is a normal salary, but lower than that of DBR investigators.

Recall that on 17 September President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky assigned the duties of Prosecutor General to Anton Kovalskyi. During his career, Kovalskyi has held various positions — from senior investigator and prosecutor to leadership roles in the Vinnytsia region prosecutor’s office.

As Glavcom reported, the influential Chernivtsi businessman Illia Pavliuk may have been involved in this personnel decision.

Note that Anton Kovalskyi is originally from Vinnytsia. He began working in the Vinnytsia prosecutor’s offices at the age of 27 (in 2011). Over ten years he moved from the position of senior investigator to deputy head of the Vinnytsia Regional Prosecutor’s Office. Since November 2021 he has led the Chernivtsi Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
