Petro Poroshenko's 2025 Asset Declaration

According to Главком: Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has filed his annual electronic asset declaration for 2025, disclosing substantial income, a major gift to his wife, and details of a high-stakes lawsuit filed by her. The document shows Poroshenko gifted securities worth 988.71 million Ukrainian hryvnias (UAH) to his wife, Maryna. His total income for the year reached 824.3 million UAH, derived entirely from dividends paid by the Swiss trust Sequent Schweiz AG.

The Poroshenko Family's Financial Holdings

Petro Poroshenko's declared bank account balances include:

• $33.8 million US dollars
• 115.5 thousand euros
• 421.6 thousand Ukrainian hryvnias

He also declared the following amounts in cash:

• 389 million UAH
• $61.5 million US dollars
• 1.27 million euros
• 260 thousand British pounds

Maryna Poroshenko's declared savings are:

• 104 million UAH
• $3.32 million US dollars
• 2.75 million euros
• 570 thousand British pounds

Combined, the couple's assets encompass 27 companies, a portfolio of securities and shares, and approximately one hundred high-value movable assets.

In March 2025, Maryna Poroshenko initiated a lawsuit in the Kryzhopil District Court of Vinnytsia Oblast, seeking a division of marital property valued at 17.1 billion UAH. Her claim targets a controlling stake (8,190 shares or 78.93%) in the closed non-diversified corporate investment fund Prime Assets Capital, valued at 8.33 billion UAH. Petro Poroshenko has owned this fund for nearly two decades.

The lawsuit also demands millions held in accounts at the International Investment Bank and RVS Bank. According to the filing, assets that would remain with Petro Poroshenko include a 2021 Honda CMX 1100D motorcycle, a 2001 King Trailers GTS443-17.5 semi-trailer, a 2021 Volvo S90 2.0 T8 car, a 93.93% stake in the LLC Firm Ekran, an unpaid profit share from Sequent Schweiz AG worth $20 million, and 3.19 billion UAH in cash. LLC Firm Ekran has been in a state of dissolution since February 2016.

Additionally, Petro Poroshenko is slated to retain 43 paintings and a sculpture of a long-legged elephant by Salvador Dalí, which he purchased for $338.5 thousand at a 2012 Sotheby's auction in New York. The total appraised value of this art collection at the time of the lawsuit was 100.4 million euros (over 4.5 billion UAH). In the fall of 2025, the Kryzhopil District Court dismissed Maryna Poroshenko's suit as artificial. The property division case is now under review by an appellate court.

“The true purpose of filing the lawsuit is to remove property from under seizure and sanctions regimes, a matter that should be resolved under the rules of different legal proceedings,” stated the Kryzhopil District Court of Vinnytsia Oblast.

The legal battle over the Poroshenkos' assets highlights the complex intersection of personal, financial, and political life for public figures in Ukraine. The immense sums involved underscore the scale of the fortune in question and the legal challenges of managing it. This case is being closely watched as a test of judicial independence and transparency, particularly regarding assets that may be subject to sanctions or other legal restrictions.

As the legal battles surrounding high-profile figures in Ukraine continue, the recent decision to maintain an asset freeze on properties linked to former President Yanukovych highlights the ongoing scrutiny of political finances. This situation underscores the complexities of asset declarations and divorce claims among influential politicians.
