Former Ukrainian President and European Solidarity MP Petro Poroshenko has declared almost UAH 773 million as income for 2019, according to his asset declaration.

In 2019, Poroshenko declared UAH 772.96 million of income and paid almost UAH 188 million in taxes.

The lion's share of income was taxed dividends in the amount of over UAH 606 million. They have not been paid since 2014. The amount accumulated over a long period of time was transferred only at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 to ensure Poroshenko's further transparent financing of his election campaign.

Poroshenko received UAH 33.084 million from the sale of shares of Ukraine's International Investment Bank. He declared almost UAH 16 million as interest on deposits and UAH 6.185 million as compensation for non-pecuniary damage and reimbursement of court costs in the trial with the BBC for disseminating inaccurate information.

Poroshenko spent UAH 584 million on his election campaigning fund.
