We hope to promote transparency, end corruption in public institutions, and strive to enter the EU smoothly.
Zelensky and his family declared an income of 10.8 million HRV in 2021, which is equivalent to US$286,168 (equivalent to approximately NT$9 million), including US$142,000 earned from selling public bonds, which is an overall decrease compared to 2020; When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Zelensky’s income dropped sharply to 3.7 million Hryvnia, equivalent to US$98,039 (equivalent to approximately NT$3 million), partly because the outbreak of the war affected property rents.
Zelensky’s income dropped nearly three times before and following the war.
Zelensky took the lead in disclosing his income not only to show his determination to join the European Union, but also to send a message to allies that provide military aid and organizations that provide financial aid, such as the International Monetary Fund, to fight corruption.
