Oksana Kvasha, Deputy Head of the High Council of Justice (HCJ), has drawn public and analyst scrutiny following the disclosure of her 2025 financial declaration. In the official filing, the high-ranking official reported a spacious residence in the Kyiv region, an elite electric vehicle owned by her husband with a reported purchase price substantially below market value, as well as cash savings and luxury items. The declared assets have sparked debate regarding public transparency, contrasting sharply with her own previous statements advocating for high ethical standards and moral authority within the judiciary.
According to the official filing, in November 2025, the official’s family acquired a 295-square-meter residential property in the village of Stayky, located in the Obukhiv district of the Kyiv region. The property is registered under the name of her husband, Serhiy Kvasha, while the HCJ Deputy Head declared the right of use. Additionally, the family holds a land plot in the village of Liubartsi, located in the Boryspil district.
The financial portion of the disclosure details notable liquid assets and personal property:
$25,000 in cash savings;
Over 120,000 UAH held in bank accounts;
A premium Swiss Omega wristwatch;
A high-end jewelry set.
The acquisition of a luxury vehicle has raised specific questions among asset declaration analysts. In June 2025, Kvasha’s husband registered ownership of a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+. The official filing lists the vehicle’s purchase price as 752,500 UAH (approximately $18,000 USD).
However, current automotive listings and market rates in Ukraine for a comparable model and manufacturing year typically start at $30,000 USD (over 1.2 million UAH). Declaring a transaction value significantly lower than prevalent market rates frequently attracts scrutiny regarding potential tax minimization or property valuation accuracy.
Oksana Kvasha holds a Doctor of Law degree, serves as a university professor, and carries the title of Honored Lawyer of Ukraine. Starting in 1996, she spent much of her career at the V. M. Koretsky Institute of State and Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, where she served as Scientific Secretary. She was elected to the High Council of Justice on November 16, 2023, under the academic delegate quota, and subsequently assumed the role of Deputy Head of the Council in March 2025.
The background surrounding her election to the key judicial governance body, as well as specific reporting entries in past declarations, had previously drawn attention from civil society groups and investigative reporters. The recently disclosed assets have renewed public attention in light of her earlier remarks on professional conduct.
«A judge must serve as a moral authority for society and a benchmark of integrity not only in the workplace, but also in private life.»
Public observers and anti-corruption monitors continue to look for formal clarifications regarding whether these principles of full financial transparency apply equally to the executive leadership of the High Council of Justice.
