The Head of the State Financial Monitoring Service worked for less than a month in the quarter: official data released

The head of the State Financial Monitoring Service, Philip Pronin, spent most of his time away from work in the first quarter of 2026. According to the agency, he worked only 27 days, while he was on business trips abroad for 23 days, on sick leave for 17 days, and on vacation for another 10 days.

This was reported by ZN.UA, citing the response of the State Financial Monitoring Service to the request. At the same time, information on expenses for foreign trips was not provided there.

In January, Pronin actually worked for only a week — from the 1st to the 9th. After that, he went on sick leave, and later went on a business trip to Tanzania, specifically to the city of Arusha.

In February, the situation repeated itself: he was at work for only three days — from February 18 to 20. After returning from Tanzania, he took sick leave again, then went on a business trip to Mexico (Mexico City), and after a short return, he took a vacation that lasted into early March.

In total, in the first three months of the year, Pronin spent 23 days on business trips, 17 on sick leave, and 10 on vacation.

Despite this, he received about 250 thousand hryvnias from the state budget per quarter. Of this amount, over 163 thousand was salary, about 55 thousand was sick pay, and over 31 thousand was vacation pay.

The State Financial Monitoring Service also refused to provide copies of reports on these trips.

At the same time, as ZN.UA reminds, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau is investigating the case of the possible embezzlement of 200 million hryvnias during the construction of fortifications in the Donetsk region. In October 2025, detectives conducted searches at the homes of officials, contractors, and individuals associated with the State Financial Monitoring Service.

In particular, it concerns former officials of the Poltava OVA — Philip Pronin and Bohdan Korolchuk, who later received positions in the State Financial Monitoring Service. During the searches at Korolchuk, according to the investigation, seals of companies (including offshore ones), equipment for the so-called “conversion center”, as well as undeclared funds — 278 thousand dollars and 3.3 million hryvnias were seized.
