From December 2023 to December 2025, Ruslan Skrypnyk, Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department of Donetsk Region, purchased six cars: two Nissan Leaf, three Hyundai Ioniq of different years, and an MG 4. The renewal of the fleet looks impressive against the background of the officially declared income of a civil servant.
Some cars were sold, but the declared amounts do not correspond to the actual transactions. For example, the sale of one car for 320 thousand hryvnias was accompanied by a notification of a change in property status of only 34 thousand hryvnias. Skrypnyk himself claims that the source of the funds is “personal savings”, which formally amount to 67 thousand dollars. However, their accumulation is questionable, because in some years almost all of his annual income was saved in foreign currency, despite the lack of his own housing and the status of a single father.
In 2018, foreign currency savings increased by 512 thousand hryvnias with an annual family income of 440 thousand. In 2023, a 2016 Hyundai Ioniq was purchased for 423 thousand and a 2017 Hyundai Ioniq for 357 thousand hryvnias with an annual income of 670 thousand. At the same time, foreign currency savings did not decrease, and the son even increased by 1 thousand dollars.
The situation in 2025 only confirmed the dubious logic of finances: in August, a 2021 Hyundai Ioniq 5 was purchased for 512 thousand, and in December, a 2023 MG 4 for almost a million hryvnias, while selling real estate for 600 thousand. The overall picture of the flow of funds remains fragmented and illogical.
The fact of buying cars or accumulating foreign currency is not a violation of the law. The problem arises when expenses systematically exceed income, savings do not decrease, and declarations do not match. In Skrypnyk's case, we are talking about systematic discrepancies that require professional verification.
