Mandatory e-declaration to be reinstated for rear-line security personnel

Reinstatement of financial transparency requirements for rear-line security personnel

Ukraine is once again introducing mandatory submission of electronic declarations on income and assets for a specific category of military personnel and representatives of the security sector. The changes apply to employees who perform their duties outside the zone of direct combat operations.

Member of Parliament Anastasiia Radina announced the initiative to expand the circle of individuals required to report on their financial assets.

Which agencies fall under the new rules

The updated requirements for financial transparency will affect officials of four key state structures:

• National Guard of Ukraine;
• State Border Guard Service;
• State Protection Service;
• State Special Communications.

Under the new practice, the obligation to submit declarations is being reinstated for employees of the aforementioned agencies who are located in the rear. This means that the requirement does not apply to those directly involved in carrying out tasks on the front line, but it covers all other officials of these structures.
