In the first six months of 2025, Ukrainian officials filed 706,311 declarations — 34% less than in the same period in 2024. This is according to data from Opendatabot, citing the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.
Most of the documents related to 2024, and the peak of submissions fell in March - 71% of declarations were received then. At the same time, one in eight subsequently underwent corrections.
In 2024–2025, the NACP initiated 1,534 full inspections of declarations, of which 78% have already been completed. Violations were not found in only 0.9% of cases — that is, 11 declarations. Only those documents that fall into the high-risk category are selected for inspection.
In almost half of the inspections (45%, or 558 cases), inaccuracies were found that did not exceed UAH 302,000. This entails disciplinary liability — from reprimand to dismissal or deprivation of bonuses.
Every third verified declaration (423 cases) contained signs of deliberate submission of false information for a total amount of over UAH 5.8 billion — an average of UAH 13.6 million per document. 358 criminal proceedings were opened in 2024 on this fact, and 258 in 2025, but only 6–7% of cases reach court.
Another 159 declarations (13%) fell under administrative liability due to inaccurate data in the amount of more than UAH 129.5 million. Fines for this range from UAH 17,000 to UAH 42,500.
In 21 declarations (2%) signs of illicit enrichment were found for a total amount of UAH 646.2 million. In 30 declarations (3%) unfounded assets were found for an amount of over UAH 129.1 million.
In some cases, several violations were recorded at once: 18 declarations combined unreliable data and illicit enrichment, and 24 combined unreliable data and unsubstantiated assets.
According to experts, such statistics indicate not only the scale of the problem with the reliability of declarations, but also the low efficiency of bringing cases to verdicts in the courts.
