The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) completed 354 full checks of declarations selected based on a risk-oriented approach from January to May 2026. Violations were found in 351 declarations, with the total amount of detected violations exceeding 1.7 billion UAH.

According to NACP data, 213 declarations contained signs of false information amounting to over 1.664 billion UAH. Additionally, five declarations showed signs of unjustified assets exceeding 23 million UAH, and six declarations indicated signs of illegal enrichment totaling more than 87 million UAH. The effectiveness of full checks over five months was 63% of the number of completed checks with an approved result.

In May, NACP sent 41 substantiated conclusions to competent authorities, of which 25 concerned signs of false declaration under Article 366-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, two related to illegal enrichment under Article 368-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and 14 involved administrative offenses connected to false declaration. Since the beginning of the year, 197 such conclusions have been forwarded to law enforcement agencies.

Moreover, since the beginning of 2026, based on NACP materials, pre-trial investigation bodies have opened 86 criminal proceedings, and materials from 26 other checks were added to already opened cases.

NACP also provided a list of declarations with the largest violations found in checks completed in May. Among them are declarations of the head of the State Consumer Service in Poltava region and a deputy of the Poltava Regional Council, the acting head of one of the police departments in Poltava region, the deputy head of the State Consumer Service in Zhytomyr region, the head of the investigative unit of the police in Kharkiv region, and the former acting general director of the state enterprise "Kyiv State Plant 'Burevisnyk'". These cases involve signs of false declaration, unjustified assets, or illegal enrichment ranging from several million to tens of millions of hryvnias.

In May, indictment acts were also sent to court regarding the former head of the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drug Control and a deputy of the Shvaikivska village council in Zhytomyr region for false declaration. Notices of suspicion were received by, among others, a deputy of the Odessa Regional Council, a former deputy of the Ivanivska village council in Vinnytsia region, a former director of a communal enterprise of the Kharkiv City Council, and a deputy of the Tsarychanska district council.

Among court decisions made in May, NACP highlights verdicts concerning a deputy of the Dubovyazivska settlement council in Sumy region and a former administrator of the territorial service center in Okhtyrka, who were found guilty of false declaration. The appellate court also upheld the decision regarding the head of the fire brigade of the State Emergency Service in Sumy region, and a court in Zaporizhzhia found a juvenile prevention inspector guilty of violating declaration requirements.

According to the agency, the most violations detected since the beginning of the year were in declarations of local self-government representatives — 90 cases, including 72 declarations submitted by local council deputies. Violations were also frequently found in declarations of representatives of the National Police, state and communal enterprises, the State Migration Service, the State Emergency Service, the National Guard, customs and tax services, as well as territorial recruitment and social support centers.

Regionally, the highest share of confirmed violations among checked declarations was recorded among officials in Dnipropetrovsk region — 84%, Khmelnytskyi — 82%, Vinnytsia — 76%, Kharkiv and Zhytomyr — 73% each. In Kyiv region, violations were found in 17 out of 27 checked declarations (63%), and in Kyiv city — in 43 out of 98 declarations (44%).

NACP emphasized that the start of a full declaration check does not by itself mean the commission of a corruption or corruption-related offense. If violations are found, the agency forwards materials to pre-trial investigation bodies and, if grounds exist, to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office for consideration of civil confiscation of unjustified assets.
