In the 2025 annual declaration of Nazarii Shchur, a member of the Lviv District Council, his wife, Khrystyna Slyusarchuk, is listed as having 4,296,004 UAH in income from business activities and 1,761,900 UAH from the sale of property. Together, this amounts to over 6 million UAH from two different sources. A separate matter concerns the four ‘Morbis’ companies named in a 2019 court document. We have compared the tax returns, registers and the text of the court ruling to understand which links are evident on paper and where the documents leave questions unanswered. [1] [7] [8]
Nazarii Shchur: from the Capital Construction Department to the Budget Committee
On the Lviv Regional Council’s website, Shchur is listed as secretary of the standing committee on budget planning, finance and economic policy. In the records of the Unified State Register, his name appears in January 2021 as the head of the capital construction department of the Lviv Regional State Administration. In his 2023 declarations, he is listed as head of the bankruptcy department of the Western Directorate of the Ministry of Justice, and in his annual declaration for 2024 — as a scientific adviser to a judge of the Constitutional Court. The declaration upon leaving office, submitted in May 2025, relates to the post of head of the Information and Public Relations Department of the Lviv District State Administration. Shchur submitted his annual declaration for 2025 in his capacity as a member of the district council. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [13]
In the annual return for 2025, Shchur’s own income is listed as 392,533 UAH in salary from the Lviv Oncology Centre, 187,197 UAH from the Constitutional Court and 1,772,507 UAH from the sale of movable property. The final line shows the total proceeds from the transaction. It does not, in itself, indicate how much the individual earned after deducting the original purchase price. [1]
Khrystyna Slyusarchuk: where did the millions in the declaration come from?
The Faculty of Law at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv lists Khrystyna Tarasivna Slyusarchuk as an assistant lecturer in the Department of Constitutional Law and a candidate of legal sciences. In Shchur’s declaration for 2024, her business income amounted to 2,989,539 UAH, whilst her salary from the university was 13,987 UAH. For 2025, these figures rose to 4,296,004 and 38,225 UAH respectively. The difference in her business income is approximately 1.31 million UAH per year. It is appropriate here to compare two annual tax returns covering full years. [1] [2] [6]
Where, then, does the additional 1,761,900 UAH come from? In the annual declaration for 2025, this sum is listed separately as income from the sale of property. The same entry already appears in the declaration submitted upon resignation, which covers the period from 1 January to 24 April 2025. In both entries, the amount and the stated source of income are the same. To add them together and declare two separate sales would amount to double-counting. The declaration itself also does not allow business income to be treated as net profit or for clients to be identified based on a single amount. [1] [3]
Romana Slyusarchuk and the four ‘Morbis’ companies: what the resolution says
Opendatabot lists Roman Vladimirovna Slyusarchuk as one of the owners of four companies bearing the same name and as the director of the private enterprises ‘Morbis’ and ‘Morbis LV’. She is also listed as a beneficial owner for two companies, ‘Morbis LV’ and ‘Morbis PL’. In Shchur’s verified declarations, we found no confirmation of a family relationship between Romana and Khristina. The information on the companies is taken from their own registration records. [1] [2] [3] [8]
In 2025, according to company records, ‘Morbis LV’ reported 33,076,100 UAH in revenue and 909,900 UAH in net profit, whilst ‘Morbis PL’ — 25,702,800 UAH in revenue and 112,000 UAH in net profit. The combined revenue of the two companies is approximately 58.78 million UAH. This figure relates to the turnover of the legal entities. It is not possible to determine from this how much the owner received or whether any dividends were paid. [9] [10]
In the ruling of the Sosnovsky District Court of Cherkasy dated 28 October 2019, case No. 712/13845/19, the following ‘Morbis’ companies are mentioned: (37786919), ‘Morbis CHR’ (39202894), ‘Morbis LV’ (41618591) and ‘Morbis PL’ (43013699). The document summarises a police application: the investigation described business dealings relating to a project by the American company HealthPrecision and requested access to bank documents as part of an investigation into a fatality. The judge granted the application for temporary access. It cannot be concluded from this document that any of the four companies were accused or that the court had established anyone’s guilt. The ruling does not indicate a direct link to the income declared in Shchur’s tax returns. [7] [8] [11]
Yuriy Kholod: what links him to Shchur in publicly available sources
In its list of deputies elected to the Lviv District Council in 2020, ZAXID.NET lists Shchur and Yuriy Kholod as belonging to the same party bloc — ‘Servant of the People’. Kholod’s official biography also states that he was deputy head of the Lviv Regional State Administration in 2019–2020 and became deputy chair of the regional council in December 2020. The party and their participation in local elections explain why these two names feature in this story. However, it is not possible to confirm any personal ties, Kholod’s involvement in Shchur’s appointment, or any joint business ventures based on these documents. [12] [14]
Lyubomyr Slyusarchuk and Shchur’s parents: what we have managed to establish
The name Lyubomyr Tarasovych Slyusarchuk appeared in the materials submitted for review. These are insufficient to establish his role in the transactions reflected in the declarations or corporate records. An open discussion is taking place on a gaming forum regarding a particular username, and the editorial team has been unable to independently verify who owns this account. Private scans of documents also do not corroborate the allegations made by the source; therefore, we have not included them in this article.
A separate question from the source concerned the MP’s mother, Natalia, his father, and the family’s possible links to a construction project. Public databases contain asset declarations from tax office employees with matching names. To conclude that there is a family relationship, ownership by the developer or involvement in a specific project, documents are needed linking these individuals to a legal entity or a building permit. The social media account provided does not offer this information. Nor have we found any confirmed evidence of the father’s involvement in the project.
What documents might complete the picture?
Public declarations show the types of income the MP has declared for himself and his wife, but they do not contain all the source documentation relating to the transactions. To verify whether these inflows are linked to specific companies or decisions by public authorities, we need contracts, details of counterparties and voting records. With regard to the ‘Morbis’ companies, the investigation could be supplemented by the final procedural document from the 2019 proceedings, if available. If you have any source documents or comments on the published information, please contact the editorial team. Please redact addresses, passport numbers and bank details.
