Kyiv judge declares 8M UAH gift to stepdaughter from ex-husband with low income

An investigation by Slidstvo.Info reveals that Serhiy Stasyuk, a judge of the Commercial Court of Kyiv, declared an 8 million hryvnia gift to his 5-year-old stepdaughter in 2021, allegedly from her biological father Roman Kostyuk, who officially earned over ten times less in the past 20 years. The discrepancy raises questions about the legitimacy of the funds and potential undeclared assets, though no formal charges have been filed. This is part of a broader pattern of judicial integrity concerns in Ukraine.
