Volodymyr Mikheyev, the new acting head of the State Space Agency of Ukraine, has found himself in the spotlight due to undeclared expenses on property he acquired during the war. According to information that appeared in his declaration for 2023, on September 22, 2022, the official became the owner of a summer house and a land plot in the village of Hnidyn, Boryspil district, Kyiv region.
According to the declaration, the house with an area of 145.2 sq. m. cost Mikheyev 2.77 million hryvnias, and the land with an area of 686 sq. m. cost 61 thousand hryvnias. At the same time, Mikheyev did not indicate the exact value of some of his other assets, including apartments, as well as the cars that he uses.
Volodymyr Mikheyev's wife, Yevgenia Mikheyev, in early September 2022 received a loan of 2 million hryvnias from a person named Beecher Lyudmila Borisovna, probably a relative of the official.
Another questionable aspect is Mikheyev's cars: in addition to a 2000 Skoda Octavia and a 2012 Toyota RAV4, the official uses a 2017 BMW X5 registered to his father. The cost of these vehicles is not indicated in the declaration, which is also a violation.
Despite his financial situation, which includes 807 thousand hryvnias in income and 1.3 million hryvnias in bank accounts, Mikheyev did not provide all the necessary information in the declaration, which calls into question the transparency of his financial transactions while in office.
