The Apparatus of the Parliament appointed a check concerning its consultant: possible connections with the Russian Federation

Official check regarding Yana Salmina

According to Главком: The Apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada appointed an official check regarding Yana Salmina due to her possible connections with Russian state structures and receiving grants from Russia. Yana Salmina holds the position of chief scientific and expert consultant of the Apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada, which has raised interest from government authorities.

Before coming to public service, Salmina collaborated with the Russian organization 'Pravfond', which has been under sanctions from the European Union since 2023. It is noted that she attracted funds from Russia for the implementation of projects between 2012 and 2016. According to reports, Salmina continued to interact with 'Pravfond' even after the onset of Russian aggression against Ukraine, visiting Moscow for meetings with the organization's curators.

Family connections and professional activity

Moreover, it is known that Yana Salmina's father is a citizen of Russia and works in enterprises of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. Since her appointment in 2019, Salmina has prepared over 250 expert opinions, highlighting her active role in the activities of the Apparatus of the Verkhovna Rada. The official check is intended to clarify all circumstances related to her professional activity and potential connections with the Russian Federation.

The situation surrounding Yana Salmina underscores the importance of transparency and accountability of public servants in the context of increasing tension between Ukraine and Russia. The official check may become a key stage in investigating potential threats to national security, as connections with Russian structures may raise suspicions regarding loyalty and professional ethics. It is essential that the results of the check are publicly available to ensure trust in public institutions and their representatives.
