Changes in Hryhorii Didenko’s Asset Declaration

According to Novyny.live: The latest asset declaration from Hryhorii Didenko, head of the Odesa Regional Council, reveals notable updates involving his wife, lawmaker Yuliia Didenko.

The document also outlines the family’s income, real estate holdings, and savings, all while an investigation into potential undeclared assets remains ongoing.

Income and Property of the Didenko Family

The family’s income shows Hryhorii Didenko earned 1,108,000 hryvnias in annual salary, while Yuliia Didenko declared 612,400 hryvnias in income. Additionally, the couple received 184,100 hryvnias from renting out property.

Their cash and assets have also attracted attention. Yuliia Didenko owns:

• a 32.2-square-meter apartment in Kyiv,
• an apartment in Donetsk,
• a non-residential property,
• a land plot in Hungary.

Hryhorii Didenko, meanwhile, holds 206,000 euros in cash, while his wife has 172,000 US dollars.

The investigation into illicit enrichment continues amid suspicions of failing to declare assets worth over 8 million hryvnias between 2021 and 2023. In February 2026, an indictment was submitted to the court, which is now reviewing a claim concerning assets valued at nearly 5 million hryvnias. Some property, including the Kyiv apartment and non-residential space, has already been seized. As a result, the situation surrounding the declarations of Hryhorii and Yuliia Didenko remains under close watch by law enforcement.

The Didenko case underscores the critical need for transparency in the financial affairs of public officials and their families.

The anti-corruption investigation could mark a significant step in combating corruption, particularly given the allegations of failing to declare substantial assets. The changes in the declarations may reflect an attempt to mitigate potential repercussions amid the ongoing probe.
