Head of Svyatoshyn Court Pyatnychuk uses others' property and cars without payment

Judge's declarations: free use instead of rent

Inna Vitaliivna Pyatnychuk, Head of the Svyatoshyn District Court of Kyiv, states in her financial reports that she is not the owner of her main living space but only uses it without payment. An analysis of her declaration indicates that instead of standard rental, the judge has the right to free temporary use of an apartment and two vehicles belonging to another person.

What is declared as property

In total, Pyatnychuk listed four real estate objects. Only two of them are in her ownership (one partially). The total declared value of these objects is 462,000 hryvnias, and the total area is 220.8 square metres of living space and 600 square metres of land plot.

The judge's property includes:

• A land plot of 600 m² in Irpin (Buchanskyi district), purchased in 2016. The value is not specified in the declaration. This is the full ownership of Inna Pyatnychuk.
• An apartment of 79.3 m² in Kyiv, purchased on 31 August 2001. According to the latest valuation, its value is 107,000 hryvnias. Ownership rights are divided: 50% belong to Inna Pyatnychuk, and 50% to Oleksandr Pyatnychuk.

Housing and cars in free use

The judge uses two other real estate objects based on the right of free use:

• An apartment of 52.7 m² in Kyiv, purchased in 2020. This object belongs to the court. The right of use was granted to Pyatnychuk and her three daughters.
• An apartment of 88.8 m² in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, purchased on 24 February 2022 for 355,000 hryvnias. The owner is Ukrainian citizen Vitaliy Vovchenko. Pyatnychuk and her daughters have the right to free temporary use of this apartment.

A similar situation exists with vehicles. The judge is not the owner of any car but has the right to free use of two automobiles belonging to Vitaliy Vovchenko:

• Suzuki SX-4 (year of manufacture 2012), purchased on 1 May 2022. Value not specified.
• Daihatsu Terios (year of manufacture 2012), purchased on 10 January 2023. Value not specified.

Income and family status

In 2024, the total income of Inna Pyatnychuk was 1.94 million hryvnias. Income includes salary, social assistance, and alimony paid by Ihor Pyatnychuk. The judge also holds 12,000 US dollars.

The judge's family consists of three daughters: Vitalina, Angelina, and Daryna. They are all registered in Kyiv.
