The leader of the richest parliamentary faction, Petro Poroshenko, has enriched himself by more than 38 million hryvnias in just two months of summer. The relevant information was published in the Unified State Register of declarations on the portal of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.
According to the declarations filed in June and July, Petro Poroshenko became richer by more than 38 million 200 thousand hryvnias.
Earlier, the media reported that Poroshenko had invested 156 million hryvnias raised by Ukrainians for his fund to support the Armed Forces in bonds through his bank, earning 50 million hryvnias in tax-free profits.
Also, according to an analytical report by YouControl, MPs from the European Solidarity party, who are only 27 out of 401 in the parliament, enriched themselves during the war by more than all other MPs combined.
In addition, in 2022, the leader of the European Solidarity faction enriched himself 20 times more than before the war, declaring almost UAH 1.5 billion in earnings. Thus, Poroshenko became one of the three richest oligarchs in the country. In 2023, compared to 2022, Poroshenko's wealth increased by $224 million and amounted to almost $1 billion.
As reported, the donations collected from Ukrainians for the Armed Forces, Poroshenko's foundation and the NGO "Sprava Hromadas" , which is close to him, spent on bail for suspects in criminal cases and to make money on the purchase and sale of government bonds.
Also, according to media reports citing the NACP, Petro Poroshenko's European Solidarity withdrew UAH 35 million from the Ukrainian budget to its own account. The funds were originally intended to finance political parties, but were misappropriated by Poroshenko's political force through a scheme to buy government bonds.
