Largest number of hidden declarations in Ukraine occurred between 2016 and 2020

23 July , 2026  

Most of the declarations by Ukrainian officials that were removed from the public registry pertain to the period before the start of the full-scale war, according to Opendatabot.

The largest number of hidden documents was submitted for 2016—94,968 thousand, or more than one in five of the removed declarations. Another 72,068 thousand documents relate to 2020.

At the same time, the share of hidden declarations for 2016 accounts for about 9% of the total number submitted during that period, and for 2020—about 8%.

By comparison: among the documents submitted during the full-scale war, about 2% of the declarations were removed from public access.

This difference is partly explained by the fact that significantly more documents were submitted between 2016 and 2020. Additionally, once access restrictions are approved, all declarations belonging to a specific individual—including those published long before the mechanism was introduced—may be removed from the registry.

In total, as of July 2026, access to 445,536 thousand declarations filed by 99,087 thousand individuals has been restricted.
