The removal of Ukrainian officials’ electronic declarations from the state registry does not mean that previously published information has completely disappeared from the public domain, notes Opendatabot.
Many documents were publicly available for several years before the mechanism for hiding them was introduced in late 2023. During that time, the data may have been saved by journalists, civil society organizations, analytical services, and online archives.
However, the publicly available portion of the declarations no longer contains residential addresses, tax identification numbers, or a number of other direct personal identifiers.
The mechanism to restrict access was introduced to protect military personnel, law enforcement officers, and other officials amid a full-scale war. A government agency may appeal to the National Agency for Corruption Prevention (NAZK) if it believes that the publication of a document poses a threat to the declarant or their family.
As of July 2026, more than 445,000 declarations for the years 2015–2026 have been removed from public access.
