The leader of the richest parliamentary faction, Petro Poroshenko, became richer by more than UAH 227 million in May.
Relevant information is published in the Unified State Register of Declarations on the portal of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP).
According to the declarations submitted to the NACP regarding changes in property status, in May 2024, Poroshenko became richer by another 227 million 898,000 thousand hryvnias. In his declarations, the MP indicated that he received the mentioned funds as interest, dividends and return of the value from the purchase of securities.
According to the mass media, earlier Poroshenko was accused of investing UAH 156 million in bonds through his bank, which Ukrainians donated to his fund for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. From the invested funds, he earned UAH 50 million in untaxed profit, the media reported.
Also, according to the analytical report of YouControl, MPs from Poroshenko's European Solidarity party, of which there are only 27 people out of 401 in the parliament, became richer during the war than all the elected members of the Verkhovna Rada combined. Thus, the earnings of the opposition members from the European Solidarity faction in two years amounted to more than UAH 3 billion. All 374 MPs from other parties earned approximately the same amount.
In addition, only in 2022, Petro Poroshenko became 20 times richer than before the war, declaring UAH 1 billion 435 million in earnings. Whereas in the pre-war year of 2021, Poroshenko earned only UAH 162 million. He entered the top three richest Ukrainians together with Viktor Pinchuk and Rinat Akhmetov. In 2023, compared to 2022, Poroshenko's fortune increased by USD 224 million and amounted to almost USD 1 billion.
