The Russian passport of the wife of the head of Odesa OVA: Trukhanov made an unexpected statement

"I do not claim, I simply ask to be checked as thoroughly as I was checked," Trukhanov stressed. He also said that Iryna Kiper allegedly has an account in a foreign bank under her maiden name, conducts business in Russia and pays taxes there. "She does business in the Russian Federation and pays taxes there. Also, information, I ask you to check that there are tax reports from the Russian Federation," Trukhanov continued.

The official also reminded of the petition submitted in 2023 by veterans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine with the demand to dismiss Oleh Kiper from his post, which did not receive the required number of votes and was rejected. "Come out and refute this information, that it is a lie. Or not a lie. And today we say 111 (Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, "State treason"), when we have questions for the military administration," summed up the ex-mer.

On February 2, 2023, Radio Svoboda published the material "Scheme" under the title "Chief Prosecutor of Kyiv Oleg Kiper spent a 10-day New Year's vacation abroad. " In it, in particular, it was mentioned that, according to Oleg Kiper, his wife "changed her Russian citizenship to Ukrainian in the summer" in connection with the events related to the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

At the same time "schemes" established that at the time of this publication, the official authorities of the Russian Federation consider the Russian passport of the wife of the chief prosecutor of Kyiv Iryna Kiper as valid. Her individual taxpayer number is also valid, according to the database of the Federal Tax Service. When journalists asked the then-prosecutor Kiper that his wife's Russian passport was still active, he said that the migration service was dealing with these issues of Ukraine.

"In order to clarify how the Migration Service of Ukraine can help citizens of the Russian Federation to leave Russian citizenship, the head of the Kyiv prosecutor's office only noted that "these are issues that, in particular, belong to their competence," and advised them to contact the migration service directly for clarification," the material reads. A year ago, in the "Cities of Power" program, Oleg Kiper's wife assured that she is now Ukrainian citizenship, and she tries to speak Ukrainian.

Her father is from Vovchansk, Kharkiv region. In the conversation, she called herself a "former citizen of the Russian Federation. " According to the "Intent" resource, Iryna became the owner of two apartments in Kyiv and four real estate objects in Bukovel in 2022 and 2023. She has 13 real estate properties, half of which have been purchased after the start of the war.

Oleg Kiper was appointed the head of the Odesa regional state administration by the decree of President Volodymyr Zelenskyi dated May 30, 2023. It will be recalled that Zelenskyi signed a decree to deprive Gennady Trukhanov of Ukrainian citizenship. Gennadiy Trukhanov suggested that the Office of the President of Ukraine might not like it, which is why information about his Russian citizenship allegedly appeared.
