Education outside Ukraine: where the children of Ukrainian officials enroll - investigation

Data has appeared in open sources and declarations of Ukrainian officials regarding where the children of certain representatives of the authorities and security sector — who publicly emphasized the importance of patriotism, service, and the return of youth to Ukraine — are studying.

This refers to a generalized analysis of the educational trajectories of children of a number of officials, prepared on the basis of open declarations and public information. According to these data, some children of Ukrainian officials are receiving education or have already completed their studies at universities in the USA, Great Britain, and European countries.

Separately, the materials mention the family of People’s Deputy Fedir Venislavskyi. According to available information, his younger son enrolled in one of the universities in the USA in 2022. After completing his studies, he, as claimed, does not plan to return to Ukraine.

The authors of the material draw attention to the discussion regarding the alignment between public statements by certain officials about the need to stay and work in Ukraine and the actual life and educational decisions of their families.

Separately, it is noted that the material also provides other examples of officials whose children are studying abroad. It is emphasized that this refers to data from open sources and official declarations, without assessments or accusations from the authors.
