Deputy Minister of Energy Oleksandr Pavlichenko, although it does not appear in high -profile anti -corruption scandals, arouses natural interest through his declarations. Formal grounds, it is an experienced civil servant with a career for more than two decades, including work in diplomatic structures of the United States and UN. But when it comes to property and finances, there is a logical question: do his fortune really meet the level of official salary?
In his declaration, Pavlichenko notes the presence of $ 38.5 thousand in cash. Another 30 thousand - he borrowed a third party. For an official whose annual income from the civil service in 2023 he amounted to just over UAH 690 thousand (about $ 18,000), these cash volumes look at least atypical. Moreover, he declared another 133 thousand hryvnias as "child support" - the amount that raises certain questions about the sources and legal nature of this income.
In bank accounts, the official is more modest - only about 400 thousand hryvnias.
Despite the high rank, Pavlichenko lives in a rented apartment of almost 130 square meters. m in Kiev. He lives with his son and stepson. Instead, he owns two land in the Kyiv and Vinnytsia regions, and his wife has an apartment in the Dnieper. At the same time, the car on which Lyudmila Pavlichenko moves, belongs to her father - is Mercedes Gla. The official himself uses the older but prestigious model - Mercedes ML350, purchased in 2014 for 400 thousand hryvnias.
Particular attention is paid to the fact that all members of the Pavlichenko family have temporary residence permits in Poland. This may indicate that the family is preparing for possible threats in Ukraine or is already considering Warsaw as an alternative to a quiet harbor.
Such permits are not uncommon among Ukrainian officials after 2022, but together with cash accumulation and opaque income create a alarming picture of double standards.
Pavlichenko also stated in the Declaration of membership in the NGO "Partnership of National Unity" and the National Advocacy Association. This is a typical "public activity" for officials, which is often used as a reputational shield. However, no public activity has recently been demonstrated.
Alexander Pavlichenko's portrait is typical of a senior official in Ukrainian realities: official biography, diplomatic experience, participation in public organizations. But the key question remains unanswered: can you honestly earn tens of thousands of cash and permits for residence abroad at a civil service with an annual salary of less than $ 20,000?
