Former Gazprom executive Valery Kanyuka transfers Kyiv-area estate to sons day before investigation

Asset transfer took place before the story went live

Valery Kanyuka, who previously held senior positions within the structure of Russian “Gazprom”, managed to re-register a luxurious residence in the Kyiv region in the names of his sons just one day before the publication of a journalistic investigation. This is evidenced by data from the State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate.

According to the documents, on 10 November 2026, i.e. one day before the release of the video material, the house was divided between the owner’s two sons under a gift agreement. Journalists suspect that the decision to change the owners was made after media attempts to obtain comments from the parties involved.

Attempts to make contact and the family’s reaction

While preparing for publication, a journalist attempted to clarify the status of the residence by calling one of Valery Kanyuka’s sons. When asked who was the administrator of the property, the man refused to provide information:

«А вам нащо це знати? Там все законно, все нормально. Це все, що вам треба знати. До побачення», (Why do you need to know that? Everything there is legal, everything is fine. That is all you need to know. Goodbye), it was heard in the phone conversation.

Direct contact with Valery Kanyuka himself could not be established despite numerous attempts. No response was received from the estate owner.

Property details and sales history

Previous reports indicated that a Russian citizen, who had worked within the “Gazprom” structure for over 15 years, was offering an estate in the village of Ivankovychi (Kyiv region) for sale or rent. The price for the house was $4 million, and the rental cost was $7,500 per month. By the time the investigation was published, the rental listing had been removed from the real estate website.

According to registry data, Valery Kanyuka became the owner of the 843-square-metre house in 2009. In addition to the main residential building, the residence grounds feature two other structures: one designated for security and the other for guests. The estate’s infrastructure includes an armory, a billiards room, a wine tasting hall, two swimming pools, a sauna, and a barbecue area.
