Despite the third year of full-scale war, former President and People's Deputy Petro Poroshenko is showing impressive financial performance. According to his 2024 declaration, his income reached 4.62 billion hryvnias — more than three times what he earned in 2022 and 2023, when his profits amounted to 1.43 and 1.44 billion hryvnias, respectively.
For comparison: in pre-war 2021, Poroshenko declared only 162 million — that is, an increase of more than 30 times.
The main source of income remains dividends, securities transactions, corporate rights, as well as finances received through companies affiliated with Poroshenko's business structures. At the same time, a significant part of the income, as before, is taken outside Ukraine. Thus, in 2024, the ex-president invested more than UAH 1.21 billion in foreign securities - almost twice as much as a year earlier. These funds passed through financial structures in Switzerland.
Thus, over the three years of the war, Poroshenko declared a total of over 7.5 billion hryvnias in income — and most of it in 2024.
Earlier, the media reported that on the eve of the imposition of sanctions, the politician managed to withdraw more than a billion hryvnias from Ukraine and “gave away” almost another billion. Given these figures, it is not surprising that during the war, Poroshenko rose from 12th to third place in the ranking of the richest Ukrainians. His family declared assets worth almost a billion dollars.
As a reminder, on February 13, 2024, sanctions were imposed against a number of politicians and oligarchs, including Petro Poroshenko, for activities that pose a threat to the national security of Ukraine. Among the charges are lobbying for the Kharkiv agreements, financing militants in Donbas, maintaining business in Russia during the war, and the illegal alienation of an oil pipeline with the participation of Medvedchuk.
According to a poll, 65.2% of Ukrainians support such sanctions, considering them fair.
