The problem of inefficient use of budget funds in state-owned enterprises remains relevant in Ukraine. A vivid example is the situation with the airports "Donetsk", "Mykolaiv" and "Zaporizhia", which have not been functioning for a long time. However, the managers of these airports continue to receive salaries.
Million salary of the director of Zaporozhye airport
The Zaporozhye airport, like all others in Ukraine, stopped working after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Russian occupiers struck this facility several times. Despite this, some employees of the airport continued to receive a considerable salary.
Acting the director of the utility company "Zaporizhia International Airport" received a salary of over a million hryvnias for the past year. It should be noted that he is Oleksandr Hryhorovych Konyakhin.
According to Konyakhin's declaration, which he submitted in March 2024, for 2023 he received 1,073,437 hryvnias . This is the only declared source of his income.
"The number of employees we currently have is critically minimal for obtaining the appropriate certificates that will allow us to resume the aviation activities of the enterprise. In the event of a more drastic reduction in personnel, the utility company loses its certificate. To restore it, it will be necessary to re-hire employees and train them for 1.5-2 years. That means the work of the enterprise will be impossible," he emphasized.
As you know, since the beginning of the large-scale war, the airport has been shelled at least three times. The Russians struck the first blow on it on the very first day of the invasion — February 24, 2022.
The airport in Mykolaiv has been closed for the third year, but the director's salary has not been affected
Mykolaiv Airport ceased operations after the beginning of the large-scale Russian invasion and was almost destroyed during the fighting with the Russian invaders in March 2022. Despite this, some employees of the airport continued to receive a considerable salary.
667,135 hryvnias in salary for 2023 In addition, he received 83,810 .
As you know, at the beginning of March 2022, fighting took place on the territory of Mykolaiv International Airport between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian invaders who were trying to break into the city. In the end, the Defense Forces managed to repulse the enemy's attacks and prevent him from taking positions on the airport territory.
However, during the fighting, the airport was subjected to numerous shellings by Russian troops. As a result, the object was actually destroyed.
In occupied Donetsk, the airport has not been operating for 10 (!) years, but Ukraine pays the director's salary
Employees of the famous international airport of Donetsk, which the Russian occupiers turned into ruins in ten years, continue to receive a considerable salary. This is due to the fact that it has not been operational since 2014.
Acting the director of Donetsk Airport received a salary of several hundred thousand hryvnias for the past year. Let's note that he is Vladyslav Volodymyrovych Bliznyuk.
From Blyzniuk's declaration, which he submitted in March 2024, it follows that last year KP "Donetsk International Airport named after S.S. Prokofiev" brought him an income of 309,161 hryvnias. This is one of the sources of his income.
