Kateryna Polyakivska, Deputy Head of the HR Management Department at the Main Service Center (GSC) of Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, has published an official asset declaration containing no information regarding her salary from the state employer. Despite declaring zero wages, the official’s family continues to regularly acquire luxury vehicles—most recently registering a brand-new Zeekr 001 electric crossover valued at 1.8 million UAH ($43,000) in late August 2026.

At the GSC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Polyakivska serves as Head of the Division for Professional Development and Labor Discipline. The primary task of her division is to monitor compliance with regulations, ethical standards, and labor discipline among employees across regional service centers nationwide. In her financial disclosure, the official explicitly affirmed that she continues to perform functions on behalf of the state, yet no monetary payouts from the Ministry were recorded under her personal income section.
The family’s acquisition of high-end vehicles has been a consistent pattern in recent years. On August 31, 2024, Polyakivska registered a 2024 Lexus NX 350H valued at 2.76 million UAH ($67,000). On August 20, 2026, she filed a notice of significant material changes, declaring the purchase of a 2025 Zeekr 001 for 1.8 million UAH from a private individual, Nataliya Rudman.
An analysis of market listings reveals a notable discrepancy in these figures. On major automotive platforms (such as AUTO.RIA), similar 2025 Zeekr 001 models typically range between 2.0 and 2.4 million UAH. The reported purchase price is approximately 200,000 to 600,000 UAH below average market rates. Meanwhile, her husband, Yevheniy Polyakivskyi—who is employed within the same GSC structure—has driven a 2020 Volvo S90 valued at 1.67 million UAH since April 2021.
The family’s property portfolio spans multiple regions of Ukraine. Since May 2024, the couple and their daughter, Mariya, have lived free of charge in a 72.1-square-meter Kyiv apartment owned by a relative, Liliya Polyakivska. Additionally, Kateryna Polyakivska has held title to her own 44.9-square-meter apartment in Kyiv since 2018, though its purchase value is listed as «unknown.» She also holds a 50% stake in a 56-square-meter residential home in Chyhyryn, Cherkasy Oblast, acquired in 1999.
Her husband is officially registered in Vinnytsia, where he owns a 33% share of a 200.7-square-meter commercial office space (with the entire facility’s assessed value listed at a modest 61,000 UAH since 2011). In December 2024, Polyakivskyi expanded his real estate assets by acquiring a 0.53-acre land plot in the Yakushyntsi community for 28,000 UAH.
In terms of personal income, Polyakivska listed only roughly 32,000 UAH for the entire year, consisting of insurance payouts, government social assistance funds, winter support allowances, and minor bank interest. The sole source of earned family income reported was her husband’s GSC salary of 602,000 UAH.
Despite the absence of her own declared wages, the official maintains significant liquid savings:
Kateryna Polyakivska: $17,000 USD, 217,000 UAH in cash, and 5,000 UAH in bank accounts.
Yevheniy Polyakivskyi: $43,000 USD, €8,700 EUR, and 285,000 UAH in cash.
The declaration lists no outstanding debts or liabilities. The omission of official state salary by an official responsible for enforcing labor discipline—paired with the acquisition of premium vehicles at below-market prices—presents clear grounds for a comprehensive audit by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP).
