In December 2023, the wife of the head of the cyber security department of the SBU, Ilya Vityuka, purchased an apartment in an elite residential complex in Kyiv, located in Pechersk. This is stated in a new investigation of the Investigation. Info.
As journalists reported, the market price of the apartment is more than UAH 20 million, although Vytyuk indicated in the declaration that UAH 12.8 million was paid for the apartment. At the same time, his salary is UAH 1.8 million per year.
At the disposal of the journalists are the declarations of Ilya Vityuk, which he published in March, however, on the day of publication of the investigation, it disappeared from the website of the NAZK. In 2021, his annual salary was slightly more than 700 thousand hryvnias. At that time, the official worked as the head of one of the departments in the same department. The document does not indicate the earnings of Ilya Vityuk's wife. He received the post of head of the department in November of the same year.
The official income of the official would not be enough for such a house, but his wife earns millions as a business owner and avoids talking about her activities.
From Vytyuk's declaration, journalists learned that in December 2023, his wife Yuliya Vytyuk purchased a premium-class apartment with an area of 195 square meters. A renovated apartment of this size in this apartment complex can cost almost $1.5 million.
At the same time, journalists reported that unrenovated apartments in this residential complex are being sold for approximately $3,000 per square meter. This is almost three times more than the average price for housing in the capital.
Thus, Yulia Vityuk had to pay 585 thousand dollars for an apartment without repairs, or 21.5 million hryvnias at the exchange rate at the time of purchase.
It is known that the wife of the chief cyber intelligence officer is engaged in entrepreneurial activities. After Vytiuk assumed the current position, Yuliya Vytiuk opened an FOP and received 9.4 million hryvnias of profit in 2022 and 13.4 million hryvnias in 2023.
Yulia Vityuk provides legal services and receives more than 1 million hryvnias for them every month, but journalists could not find any information about the address or contact information of her firm. The main activity of the FOP of the wife of a top SBU employee is the field of law. However, there is no publicly available information either about her clients or about what services Yulia provides.
Last year, a child was born to the couple, but this did not affect the woman's income, the journalists said.
It is noted that Yuliya Vityuk refused to talk to the Slidstva.info journalist about her activities and the purchased apartment.
Also, Ilya Vityuk's mother, Natalia, unlike her wife, is not engaged in business, but works as a doctor. However, in addition to real estate in Ternopil and Brovary, the woman also owns square meters in residential complexes in the capital. The first apartment is located right on the Dnipro Embankment. The windows of this house offer a view of the vast banks of the Dnieper. Nataliya Vityuk bought a two-room apartment with an area of 85 square meters in an apartment complex on the left bank of Kyiv in 2013. Currently, the cost of a similar one on the market is 177,000 dollars. It was here, according to the declarations of the SBU official, that Vytyuk and his family lived in 2021 and 2022.
Vityuk's mother also has an apartment in a cozy park complex almost in the center of Kyiv. Fifty square meters in this residential complex can cost $100,000. The total cost of the mother's Kyiv apartments alone is almost a third of a million dollars. Or more than 4 million hryvnias, if calculated at the exchange rate at the time of purchase.
