Zelensky Publicly Declares Income Amid Ukraine's EU Bid

The move is part of a broader transparency drive as the country seeks to root out corruption and meet stringent EU membership requirements.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly declared his income for the past two years, a move seen as part of a transparency drive amid Ukraine's bid to join the European Union.
In 2021, Zelensky and his family reported income of 10.8 million hryvnias ($286,168), down 12 million hryvnias from the previous year. The 2021 figure included income from the sale of $142,000 of government bonds.
In 2022, the Zelensky family's income fell further to 3.7 million hryvnias due to reduced rental income from real estate he owned because of the outbreak of the war.
Zelensky has called for public officials to disclose their incomes as part of efforts to increase transparency and eliminate corruption.
Western allies and international bodies like the International Monetary Fund have sought assurances on efforts to eliminate corruption.
