The mayor of the Borshchiv community in Ternopil region Igor Chopik, elected from the Batkivshchyna Party, filed a declaration in which he avoids direct responsibility for the valuation of his own assets. The documents include tens of thousands of square meters of land, office space, apartments and cars. But how much it costs - it is impossible to find out. Chopik simply does not indicate the value of his property, as well as his wife's property.
Igor Chopik and his wife Galina live in Borshchev. She is a subprimal and the owner of the company Ternopilvodvodagrobud, which is registered in the same city. Officially, the firm is engaged in building materials. Unofficially - can be one of the sources of family well -being, which is not fully reflected in public documents.
The mayor's declaration includes at least three large land within Borshchev and one in the neighboring village of Ivan-Pust. In total - more than 3 hectares of land. However, the cost of none of them is specified. Another large area-617-meter office space-also without evaluation. And this despite the fact that all this property was purchased in the 2000s, when accounting and state registration have long been established.
Chopik's wife, according to the same declaration, owns three more plots in Borshchev (including a plot of 10 acres), an apartment (77.5 m²) and an unfinished apartment building of 258 m². The cost and date of acquisition of most objects is also not specified.
The declaration records four vehicles in the name of Igor Chopik. Among them are two cars (Mitsubishi Lancer and Skoda Superb), as well as two trucks. But here - there is no word about their value.
It is possible that such "forgotten" lines are not a coincidence. In many cases, the assessment of property would understand whether it corresponds to the level of income of the official.
In 2023, Igor Chopik received over 900 thousand hryvnias salaries and almost 88 thousand pensions. His wife has earned another 1.26 million hryvnias as a subprivacy. But the most eloquence of the declaration is cash. The Chopik family "under the pillow" stores 1.14 million hryvnias, $ 14,000 and another 6.8 thousand euros.
In this case, real estate objects per tens of millions of hryvnias - without value. The Chopik Declaration has a lot of immovable and movable property, which by the logic of the law should be evaluated or at least marked as "unknown" but not even done.
LLC "Ternopilvodagrobud", the ultimate beneficiary of which is Galina Chopik, registered in Borshchev. The company sells building materials, which is an industry where taxes optimization schemes, contracts with local budgets and large cash circulations are often recorded.
Whether Igor Chopik's wife was a counterparty of the Borshchiv City Council - a question that should be asked to anti -corruption bodies. And is not part of their real estate issued for the wife for the same reason - concealing the value or conflict of interest.
Borshchev mayor has considerable assets, but is in no hurry to detail their value. The cost of land, office, house, car is not specified. Business of the wife - behind the scenes. All this does not contradict the letter of the law, but it is completely contrary to his spirit.
While Chopik works as a mayor of a community that needs transparency, his declaration remains an example of how to get over the attention of voters and controlling bodies.
