Ukrainska Pravda has asked the law enforcement officers and Smyrnov himself to comment.

Background:

• In February 2023, Ukrainska Pravda journalists discovered that in 2022, Andrii Smyrnov’s brother Ihor had purchased property, including an apartment and a plot of land in the Carpathians, at a significantly lower price than the total market value of US$250,000.
• It was reported that the brothers could not give a straight answer about where the money for the purchase came from and why the prices had been reduced.
• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Andrii Smyrnov as deputy head of the President’s Office on 29 March.
