Nikolay Starushko, acting head and administrator of Territorial Service Center No. 5346 in the village of Butenky, has filed his 2025 asset declaration. The official reported real estate in Kobeliaky, a family fleet of cars and motorcycles, and multiple properties acquired on the exact same day with no listed monetary value.
According to the official e-declaration submitted on March 21, 2026, the family’s primary residence since 2011 has been a 54.7 sq. m house in Kobeliaky, originally purchased for 55.4 thousand UAH. However, the most striking transactions took place on August 5, 2024. In a single day, Starushko acquired ownership of five separate properties in Kobeliaky:
A residential house measuring 82.6 sq. m;
A 28.4 sq. m garage;
Three land plots measuring 526 sq. m, 47 sq. m, and 1,000 sq. m.
The official failed to specify the financial value for any of these five assets in his declaration.
Toward the end of 2025, the official updated his personal transport. On November 10, 2025, he registered a 2002 Volkswagen Golf in his name for 120,000 UAH. Overall, the family declared a sizable fleet, with most vehicles registered under his wife, Liliia.
Specifically, his wife owns a 2009 Peugeot 207—acquired in February 2023 for a mere 24,000 UAH—alongside a Yamaha YBR 125 motorcycle purchased for just 1,000 UAH, and a 1999 Suzuki Lets II moped. The garage also houses a vintage 1988 Dnepr MT-11 motorcycle and a side-board trailer.
Valuing a Peugeot 207 at 24,000 UAH (roughly $600) at the time of purchase in 2023 and a Yamaha motorcycle at 1,000 UAH falls drastically below average market prices for used vehicles in Ukraine.
For 2025, Starushko reported 457,000 UAH in salary from the regional service center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, supplemented by 29,000 UAH in pension payments. Additionally, he declared state assistance under the «Winter Support» and «National Cashback» programs. The family reported no cash savings, foreign currencies, or financial liabilities.
The omitted valuation of five properties acquired simultaneously, alongside the unusually low declared purchase prices for family vehicles, could trigger a formal review by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP).
