The Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor office and National Anti-Corruption Bureau have declared suspicion to the member of parliament.
‘On May 2, 2024, following the directive of the Head of the SAPO, the prosecutor notified a current MP of Ukraine of suspicion of illicit enrichment of over UAH 11 million. The MP’s actions are qualified under Art. 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine,’ the statement says.
According to the investigation, it has been identified that in 2020-2021, the MP received property worth UAH 25 million – 5 flats in Kyiv, 3 land plots in Kyiv region, 2 commercial premises, as well as Tesla and Mersedes-Benz cars. The MP formalized the most of his property in the names of his close relatives, reserving the right to have it fully controlled.
The name of the member of parliament was not mentioned. However, the Center to Counteract Corruption claims it is Andrii Klochko, the ‘Servant of the People’ party MP.
After the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine witnessed an unprecedented wave of private support for the army. Citizens, big businesses, charitable foundations, and international philanthropists began financing the country’s defense alongside state assistance provided by international partners. Estimates of total private contributions range from tens to hundreds of billions of hryvnias. However, determining the exact amount remains difficult. In many cases, companies combine military aid, humanitarian programs, tax payments, social spending, and employee support in their reporting.
Rinat Akhmetov’s military initiative, “Steel Front”, has delivered a batch of drones worth UAH 214 million to the 1st “Azov” Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine. This shipment is part of the Metinvest Group’s ongoing support for the unit in 2025.
On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
