The Sternenko Scandal: Cryptocurrencies, Luxury Shopping, and Wartime Corruption

The disabled volunteer Serhiy Sternenko, who recently got into a scandal with his failure to appear after a summons to the TCC, for which he was fined, and earlier he had registered a disability for his sight, during the years of the full-scale war, he took out of his crypto wallets, which he was collecting for, as stated , aid for the army, more than a million dollars. In addition, he and his family members bought real estate and cars.

According to the sources, 1.015 million USDT was withdrawn from one crypto account on which Sternenko collected money to the same wallet on the Binance crypto exchange (the exchange rate is approximately equal to the rate of the US dollar), and 350.75 thousand USDT was withdrawn from another crypto account to the same crypto exchange .

Sternenko also collects donations for his accounts in Ukrainian banks. At the same time, in the tax declaration on property and income, he indicated the receipt of income in the amount of 44.61 million hryvnias. Of them: in 2022 - 18.68 million hryvnias; in 2023 - 25.93 million hryvnias.

According to the registers, in 2023 Serhii Sternenko and his roommate Natalia Usatenko bought two VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN cars.

This car was registered in the name of Sternenko on January 11, 2023. The price according to the sales contract is UAH 950,000 (the average market value is UAH 1.3 million).

The car was registered in the name of Natalia Usatenko on December 20, 2023. According to the contract, it was purchased for only 70 thousand hryvnias, which is many times lower than the market value.

According to sources, both cars are used personally by Sternenko and Usatenko.

Sternenko's father Vyacheslav, according to the registers, bought a plot of land of 4.5011 hectares in the Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky district of the Odesa region in July 2024.

As for Nataliya Usatenko's parents, according to sources, her parents live in Horlivka, on the territory of the Donetsk region captured by the Russian Federation. The last time they were in the territory under the control of Ukraine was before the full-scale invasion and since then they have not returned. In August 2023, Usatenko's mother published a photo on the Odnoklassniki social network from the Crimean Alushta.

We will remind, Serhiy Sternenko himself was involved in several criminal cases.

And, according to law enforcement sources, in the period from 04/24/2018 to 09/16/2021, he was registered in Odesa RUP No. 1 GUNP in Odesa region as a person involved in the sale of drugs.
