In 2025, the Appeals Chamber of the HACC, based on the results of the LSM, adopted seven decisions recognising unjustified assets worth over UAH 37 million.

In 2025, the bodies of the State Enforcement Service executed three court decisions, as a result of which more than UAH 8 million was recovered in favour of the state. By comparison, in 2024, only one court decision was executed, under which approximately UAH 2 million was recovered.
In 2026, as part of fulfilling the obligations undertaken by Ukraine to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the NACP will strengthen its efforts regarding the LSM of officials. This is one of the conditions for continued international financial support for Ukraine.
The priority for the Activities Monitoring and Declaration Completeness Control Department in 2026 is to identify indications that officials have acquired unjustified assets and to transfer such materials to SAPO to decide on filing claims with the court for recognition of assets as unjustified and their recovery in favour of the state (civil forfeiture).
A challenge in 2026 remains the identification of unjustified assets acquired by declaring entities in foreign jurisdictions. The limited access of the NACP to information on foreign assets, in particular bank accounts of declaring entities and their family members, is due to the absence of a national mechanism for transferring relevant data and international restrictions on its use.
“The Activities Monitoring and Declaration Completeness Control Department of the NACP continues to work actively despite limited human resources compared to the number of declaring entities. High-quality preparation of materials ensures real legal results. This is evidenced by the number of claims filed by SAPO prosecutors and HACC decisions on the confiscation of unjustified assets in favour of the state. Since 2019, almost 60% of HACC decisions on civil forfeiture have been based on materials of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention,” notes the Head of the Department, Dmytro Sokolov.
