Oksana Leonidivna Sosnova, the chief specialist of the Department of Urban Planning and Architecture of the Odessa Regional State Administration, has found herself in the spotlight due to the striking gap between her official income and real estate transactions worth millions. Data from declarations and reports of significant changes in property status show that the civil servant acquired property in a short period of time for amounts that do not correlate with the size of her earnings, and then quickly got rid of a significant part of her assets.
Sosnova's property history dates back to 2017, when she first purchased an apartment in Odessa with an area of 63 square meters for 201 thousand hryvnias. In 2020, she became the owner of a 2018 Peugeot 2008 crossover, for which she paid 470 thousand hryvnias. The following year, the official also invested in a parking space in a new building, purchasing an unfinished construction site with an area of 18 square meters.
The real leap occurred in March 2023. Sosnova purchased two apartments in Odessa at once with a total value of about 2.9 million hryvnias. One of the objects — 71.8 square meters — cost 1.85 million hryvnias, the other — 48 squares — cost 1.03 million hryvnias. At that time, the official's official income did not demonstrate financial capabilities for such large-scale purchases.
According to the declarations, in 2024 her total income consisted of a salary from the regional state administration in the amount of 551 thousand hryvnias and a pension of 137 thousand. These figures are not commensurate with either the pace of property accumulation or the amounts spent on real estate in previous years.
In November 2025, Sosnova filed two notifications of material changes. Within one week, she sold real estate to citizen Vladlena Yarmolovich for UAH 2.06 million. On the same day, she made another financial transaction - replacing the party in the associate membership agreement in the consumer association "Suzirya Budova" for UAH 2.45 million. The total proceeds from these transactions alone exceeded four million hryvnia.
The high dynamics of property acquisition and sale, the significant gap between real transactions and official income, as well as the practice of registering assets at different times raise a number of questions about the sources of financing. Such changes look especially contrasting against the background of the declared income of a civil servant.
The material is causing an increasing public resonance, as it points to possible systemic signs of illicit enrichment or hidden sources of income. While Sosnova has not provided public explanations regarding the origin of the funds, the story of her rapid property transactions is only escalating.
