Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych earned 1,177,559 hryvnias in 2025, amounting to 98,100 hryvnias per month. This is 24.5% more than his salary in 2024.

«I hear a lot of things said about me, that we’ve supposedly left Mykolaiv and so on. It’s complete nonsense that I’m supposedly selling my property. I’m required to declare my assets, and all my declarations are public. You can see what I own and what I don’t. On the other hand, what to do with my property is my personal business, not the business of people who have achieved nothing in life,» said Oleksandr Sienkevych at a staff meeting.
