Close relatives of Kyrylo Nesterenko, a Member of Parliament representing the «Servant of the People» party, have been linked to a tax reduction scheme involving suburban Kyiv real estate tied to developer and fellow MP Viktor Myalyk. A journalistic investigation reveals that despite Nesterenko’s modest official salary, his family acquired real estate worth over $200,000, while the lawmaker himself frequently traveled to luxury foreign resorts throughout the full-scale war.
Over the past five years, the lawmaker’s father, Oleksandr Nesterenko, and brother, Yehor Nesterenko, purchased apartments, garages, parking spots, and commercial properties in the «Lvivskyi Zatyshok» residential complex located in Sofiivska Borshchahivka. The total estimated value of the acquired properties exceeds $200,000.
All properties were bought directly from individuals and entities affiliated with the developer LLC «MDS-Bud». Sellers included company director Anna Dubchak, technical supervision engineer Valeriy Omelyanenko, and MP Viktor Myalyk, a member of the «For the Future» parliamentary group and former founder of the development firm.
The scheme operated by registering properties to individuals rather than the corporate entity. This allowed sellers to pay a 5% personal income tax instead of the standard 18% corporate tax rate. Some of these properties were later resold by Nesterenko’s family at double their initial purchase price.
Law enforcement agencies previously charged Viktor Myalyk with UAH 118 million in tax evasion under a similar scheme. Following criminal proceedings initiated against Myalyk, investigators report that Nesterenko’s relatives were brought into the property transaction process.
Kyrylo Nesterenko’s official declarations list his MP salary of approximately UAH 55,000 per month as his sole source of income.
Despite these limited reported earnings, Nesterenko made at least 14 trips abroad during three years of war, visiting locations including Monaco, Nice, Spain, and Italy, as well as a ski trip in January 2025. In Kyiv, the lawmaker regularly dines at high-end venues, where single-evening bills reach $400–$500.
Neither the State Tax Service nor law enforcement authorities have issued official charges against the Nesterenko family regarding these transactions, with current findings based on land and property registry trails.
