Analysts from the public organization "Chesno" made calculations regarding the costs that the state could have saved during almost two and a half years of full-scale war if elected officials had shown greater responsibility in their activities.
Thus, almost 65 million hryvnias were spent from the state budget on compensation for renting housing in the capital for people's deputies, including those who, during the war years of 2022-2024, declared hundreds of thousands in foreign currency in cash, new cars, jewelry, clothing and accessories from luxury brands, and even those who have an apartment in Kyiv.
According to the declarations, out of 160 people's deputies who received compensation over the past two years, at least 54 have savings of over $100,000.
The largest percentage of people's deputies who received housing compensation was among the "Servants of the People", who received more compensation than people's deputies from all other factions and groups combined.
During 2022-2023, 20 million hryvnias were spent annually from the budget on renting housing for servants, and in the first four months of 2024, this amount almost reached 5 million hryvnias.
And it was precisely the wealthy "servants" who chose the maximum allowable amount of housing compensation, in particular Bohdan Torokhtiy, Artem Kunayev, Oleg Voronko, Stepan Chernyavskyi, Ihor Negulevskyi, Ihor Fris, Orest Salamakha, Oleksandr Horobets and others.
For example, the “servant” Oleksandr Kabanov, whose wife owns an apartment in Kyiv with an area of 164.7 sq. m and who has the right to live in it free of charge, took 56 thousand hryvnias from the budget for housing rental in the first four months of 2024.
It is noteworthy that the least amount of money for housing was requested by people's deputies from the PZZHM and "Vidnovlenie Ukrainy" groups (which were previously part of the OPZH together) and from "Batkivshchyna".
In general, the green government uses any opportunity to steal as much as possible, even despite the war, and the OP uses housing compensation as an option for envelopes for its deputies.
