The wife of Kisel’s “servant” transferred the house near Kyiv to her daughter, after the deputy was served with suspicion – investigation

The wife of the People’s Deputy from the Servant of the People party, Yulia Kiselya, transferred an elite house in the Kyiv region to her daughter after anti-corruption authorities reported suspicions of providing an improper benefit to her husband.

This was reported by hromadske.

As noted, the estate in the cottage town “Pearl of Italy” in the village of Ivankovychi near Kyiv became the property of Olga Horulko on January 1, 2026.

Previously, until 2020, the residence belonged to President Volodymyr Zelensky, but after he moved to the state residence in Koncha Zaspa, the house and land were sold.

It was bought by Valentina Kisel, the wife of the “servant of the people,” borrowing 5.4 million hryvnias from Serhiy Shefir, who was Zelensky’s first aide. The total value of the estate in Ivankovychy is estimated at 13.5 million hryvnias.

Yuriy Kisel himself has been heading the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Transport and Infrastructure for several years in a row since receiving his mandate. According to the latest declaration, the official and his wife’s wealth exceeds $1 million.

At the end of 2025, on December 27, NABU conducted searches at Kisel’s committee and later served a notice of suspicion.

The Supreme Court of Ukraine’s Constitutional Court chose a preventive measure for the deputy with the right to post bail, but due to the closed session, the amount remained unknown. However, according to investigators, on January 8, Kisel filed six declarations about depositing 8 million hryvnias into the court’s deposit account.

In a comment to the media, he denied any accusations from the NABU and SAPO.

hromadske notes that a few days after the preventive measure was chosen, the owner of the house near Kyiv with land owned by Valentyna Kisel became her daughter, Olga Horulko.

In Kisiel’s declaration, Horulko is listed because she has joint ownership of an apartment in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Pavlo Demchuk, Senior Legal Advisor at Transparency International Ukraine, explained in a comment to hromadske that rewriting assets before the seizure but after reporting suspicions can be considered a way to evade potential punishment.

“This is a rather complex construction, which is proven through the court that this is a fictitious transaction, it was not aimed at any real consequences, but only to remove property from potential arrest. In general, our legislation needs to be improved a little in order to confiscate the criminal assets of those individuals who are held accountable for corruption,” the expert added.

As a reminder, detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau conducted a secret wiretapping of Yuriy Kisel, a member of parliament from the Servant of the People faction, a close friend of the co-founder of Kvartal 95, Serhiy Shefir, for over two years.
