Volodymyr Kozakov, Head of the Regional Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Rivne, Volyn, and Zhytomyr oblasts, has submitted a revised asset declaration for 2025 detailing significant vehicle upgrades, dozens of hectares of land owned by his wife, and foreign citizenship held by his son. According to the document filed on March 12, 2026, the official’s combined family income exceeded 1.5 million UAH.
In October 2025, the official disposed of previous personal property and acquired a 2020 Toyota Camry valued at 950,000 UAH. Just a year prior, in February 2024, he registered a 2017 Toyota Camry with a declared value of 767,000 UAH.
Volodymyr Kozakov currently rents a 41.3 sq. m apartment in Rivne, where he actually resides, despite maintaining official registration in Vinnytsia. In his city of registration, the public official holds a 25% share in a 59 sq. m apartment jointly owned with relatives and holds a formal registration in a local college dormitory.
The primary real estate holdings of the family are registered under his wife, Iryna Hryhoruk, who serves as a department chair at a Vinnytsia university. Her assets include a residential house and six land parcels totaling over 6.7 hectares in the village of Zoziv, Vinnytsia Oblast. The declared monetary value of these properties remains unspecified in the document. Additionally, the family enjoys rent-free use of another 52 sq. m apartment in Vinnytsia owned by Vira Hryhoruk.
The declaration also reveals notable family details regarding his children: his son, Dmytro, resides in Poland, holds Polish citizenship, and appears in foreign documents as Dymitr Kozakow.
For 2025, Volodymyr Kozakov reported approximately 958,000 UAH in salary from service center positions in Vinnytsia and Rivne, alongside 850,000 UAH derived from property sales. His wife declared over 550,000 UAH in combined income from academic employment, land lease payments, and social benefits. The couple’s cash reserves stand at 100,000 UAH and 14,000 EUR.
Analysts note that the public official’s asset declaration raises questions that warrant review by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) and the Department of Internal Security of the National Police. Key areas requiring examination include the market accuracy of the vehicle valuations, the origin of cash reserves, and whether family income aligns with the acquisition of extensive land assets.
