Markarova's children have diplomatic passports

The son and daughter of Ukraine's former ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, have Ukrainian diplomatic passports.

This is evidenced by the data of Markarova's electronic declaration, which she filed when she was dismissed, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

Markarova's son Danylo and daughter Lydia have diplomatic passports issued to them in Ukraine.

From the beginning of the year until her dismissal, Markarova received UAH 630,000 in salary. Her husband earned UAH 9.5 million in salary at PJSC Accordbank, another UAH 350,000 in fees, and a pension of UAH 222,000.

Oksana Markarova received UAH 3.4 million in compensation payments from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She also received UAH 11.7 million in income from the sale of securities and corporate rights.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Markarova became an advisor to the President on the issues of rebuilding Ukraine and attracting investments. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed Oksana Markarova as his advisor, entrusting her with the task of rebuilding Ukraine and attracting investment. Last year, the speaker of the US Congress demanded the dismissal of Ukrainian Ambassador Markarova and accused her of interfering in the election. On August 27, Zelenskyy appointed Stefanishyna as ambassador to the United States to replace Oksana Markarova. Stefanishyna served as Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration and Minister of Justice.
