Declaration anomalies, significantly undervalued premium vehicles, and the purchase of land in Obukhiv for a nominal sum have drawn attention to the assets of an administrator’s family at the local Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVS) Service Center. The official data submitted contains a series of discrepancies that could soon trigger a detailed audit by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP).
Valentyna Blahovirna, an administrator at the Obukhiv Territorial Service Center (TSC) No. 3244—operating under director Serhiy Chyzh—has submitted her annual asset and income declaration. An analysis of the document reveals stark gaps between the stated value of the family’s assets and real market prices for comparable items.
The vehicle section raises the most questions among asset analysts. All three family cars are registered under the official’s husband, Viktor Blahovirny. However, the reported purchase prices raise significant doubts:
Mercedes-Benz E220 CDI (2010): Acquired by the husband in January 2024, its declared value is just 102,000 UAH (approx. $2,450). Meanwhile, market listings on platforms like AUTO.RIA for similar models range between 360,000 and 550,000 UAH, with typical lots trading around 470,000–510,000 UAH. Even severely damaged units rarely drop to 100,000 UAH.
Renault Megane (2008): Registered in late 2023 for 124,400 UAH. The secondary market price for this model consistently stays between 200,000 and 250,000 UAH.
ZAZ 110557 (2006): Owned since 2016, with a declared value of 12,000 UAH.
The real estate records present a similar pattern. In June 2024, Valentyna Blahovirna registered ownership of a 1,000 sq. m land plot in Obukhiv, stating a total purchase price of just 10,000 UAH—translating to 1,000 UAH per hundred square meters in a Kyiv suburb. Such drastic undervaluation typically prompts NACP verification against official appraisal reports.
Additionally, the official has owned another 1,200 sq. m plot since 2011, listed with «not applicable» for its value. The couple resides in a 78.9 sq. m home in Obukhiv owned by the administrator’s mother, where they hold user rights through residency registration.
«If the gap between declared and market values is formally confirmed by expert appraisal, it may constitute the submission of knowingly false information in an official asset declaration, carrying statutory liability.»
The couple reported a combined annual income of approximately 916,000 UAH:
Valentyna Blahovirna received 455,000 UAH in salary from the MVS Service Center and 1,000 UAH in state winter aid.
Viktor Blahovirny earned 320,000 UAH at DTEK Kyiv Regional Grids, 75,000 UAH in pension payments, and 1,000 UAH in state aid (actively working while drawing a pension).
Despite nearly one million hryvnias in joint annual income, Section 12.1 of the declaration shows an absolute zero: no cash holdings, no bank accounts, no financial liabilities, and no listed expenses.
The discrepancies—specifically acquiring a Mercedes-Benz E220 CDI at 3 to 5 times below market value and buying land for a nominal sum—flag the declaration as high-risk under NACP monitoring protocols. If a full audit proves intentional concealment of asset values or failure to disclose bank accounts, the official faces administrative or criminal liability.
