The main goal and mission of the NGO “Center for Civic Initiative Ukraine–Europe”, which I currently represent, is both ambitious and complex. It can be achieved only by bringing together socially responsible and civic-minded citizens who are committed to building a democratic and just society founded on honesty, integrity, and respect for the citizens of Ukraine and for oneself.

CSO: Civil Society Organization “All-Ukrainian Expert Chamber”
Autobiography: Biography of Konizhai
Motivations for Participation:
The motivation to be elected to the Public Council stems from a deep commitment to the establishment of the rule of law in Ukraine.

Owing to my many years of professional experience in law enforcement, legal practice, academia, and scientific work, I possess the professional skills, essential knowledge, and international expertise that can contribute to improving the forms and methods of interaction between state authorities, including law enforcement agencies; enhancing the exchange of international experience in areas within ARMA’s scope of activity; strengthening the participation of civil society institutions in public administration; and fostering the professional development of ARMA’s staff.

- Buhrynets Ruslan
Autobiography: Biography of Buhrynets
Motivations for Participation:
The motivations for participation consist of two components: professional and civic.
Professional motivation.
My professional activity enables me to contribute to ARMA’s work, particularly in the field of asset tracing. Taking into account the numerous reforms in the law enforcement sector in recent years, the establishment of new institutions, and the expansion of their functions, I believe it is prudent to make use of already proven mechanisms and ensure their most effective implementation.
In fact, it is not ARMA’s fault that in recent years assets have been traced, seized, and transferred to management, yet court verdicts have not followed, leaving unclear whether such assets should be returned or managed for years without resolution.
Civic motivation.
My civic engagement arises from the challenges faced by the community of Kotsiubynske, where for many years a struggle has continued over the Bilichansky Forest. Land plots are periodically seized and then released from seizure.
The local task is to gain an understanding of how to manage such assets — in particular, land plots. The broader goal is to ensure that community interests are taken into account in decisions concerning assets that form part of the local community.

- Hromakov Dmytro
CSO: Civil Society Organization “Center for Social Engineering ‘Recognition and Analysis of Non-Systemic Actions’”
Autobiography: Biography of Hromakov
Motivations for Participation:
The desire to become a member of the Public Council under ARMA stems from an understanding that assets should serve the interests and security of the state.
My professional experience at the International Center for Countering Russian Propaganda and at the Center for Social Engineering “RAND” demonstrates that issues of property ownership are frequently exploited in russian information operations.
Therefore, I believe that our experience in countering russian disinformation may be valuable to ARMA’s staff in the context of systemic confrontation with agents of influence and in shaping international-level public opinion on matters related to asset recovery and management.

- Yuliia Trester
SO: Civil Society Organization “Council of Peaceful Initiatives”
Autobiography: Biography of Yuliia Trester
Motivations for Participation:
At first glance, the desire to become a member of the Public Council under ARMA may seem unexpected — after all, what is the connection between asset tracing and management, and the protection of children’s rights? However, after more than ten years of working on issues of child safety, I have come to fully understand that the interests of children are present everywhere — the problem is that they are not always seen or acknowledged.
First, among all those whose property is seized, transferred for management, or subject to tracing, there are parents — and therefore children, including minors. It is crucial to ensure that their interests are considered, as children are not responsible for their parents’ decisions, yet they often suffer the consequences.
Second, in recent years, the issue of the future of the Mezhyhirya complex has been repeatedly discussed. There is an idea to repurpose this asset as a modern children’s development and recreation center. My experience enables me to understand both ARMA’s role within the system of public authorities and the state mechanisms and legal framework governing its activities.

Motivations for Participation:
The motivation to be elected to the Public Council under ARMA arises primarily from my personal commitment — and, in my view, a public necessity — to strengthen civic oversight of the Agency’s activities.
At the same time, recognizing the importance of the work carried out by the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes, I will make every effort to ensure that ARMA’s leadership takes due account to public opinion in the exercise of its powers.

- Hoshovatiuk Andrian
CSO: Civil Society Organization “Sororitas”
Autobiography: Biography of Hoshovatiuk
Motivations for Participation:
My motivation to be elected to the Public Council under ARMA arises from an unshakable belief that the right to call oneself a citizen of Ukraine is inseparable from the duty to contribute in every possible way to the development and improvement of one’s country, and of its individual state institutions in particular. This principle fully corresponds to the concept of responsible citizenship in developed democracies.
I believe it is both the right and the duty of every responsible citizen to devote personal time and effort to building a truly democratic, unified, and European society—one that functions according to clear rules and standards, while upholding universal humanistic values and adhering to common sense.

- Revenko Vasyl
CSO: Civil Society Organization “Ksenos”
Autobiography: Biography of Vasyl Revenko
Motivations for Participation:
My motivation to be elected to the Public Council under ARMA stems from a commitment to the sustainable European integration of Ukraine, accompanied by the development of strong institutions and a high level of civic oversight over their activities.
Such civic oversight is possible only through the existence of public councils, which serve as an effective mechanism for monitoring any state institution. Through these councils, citizens can directly influence the decisions of public authorities, as well as access and disseminate information about their activities.
This form of oversight constitutes an integral component of Ukraine’s European course, as proclaimed in the Preamble to the Constitution of Ukraine.

- Tristan Rodion
CSO: Civil Society Organization “Anti-Corruption Axe”
Autobiography: Biography of Tristan
Motivations for Participation:
My motivation to be elected to the Public Council under ARMA arises from the recognition of the need to ensure the independence of this advisory body, which serves as an instrument of Ukrainian civil society in preventing unlawful interference in ARMA’s activities.
ARMA itself is an integral component of Ukraine’s anti-corruption system, responsible for the finding, tracing, and recovery of criminal assets. Given the specific nature of ARMA’s mandate, the presence of an impartial and independent Public Council is essential to safeguarding transparency, accountability, and public trust in its operations.

Autobiography: Biography of Senko
Motivations for Participation:
The main objective of the activities of the CSO “All-Ukrainian Center for Combating Corruption and Supporting Law Enforcement Bodies ‘Anti-Corruption Initiative’”, which I currently represent, is to promote the lawful interests of its members and all citizens of Ukraine committed to combating corruption. The organization seeks to develop and implement national anti-corruption policy at the state level by involving the public in the legislative process, establishing civic oversight over the observance of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine by officials of state and local authorities, law enforcement bodies, and courts, and by supporting their efforts to prevent and combat corruption-related offences.
The organization also carries out independent research on the nature and forms of corruption in Ukraine and, based on best practices from advanced democracies, develops proposals for creating an effective system of corruption prevention and counteraction.
At present, as part of our ongoing cooperation with public authorities, the organization intends to obtain membership in the Public Council under the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes, with the aim of ensuring public participation in the implementation of state policy on preventing and combating corruption, facilitating the practical realization of international, national, regional, and local anti-corruption programs, and fostering effective interaction between the Agency and civil society.
If granted membership in the Public Council, I am ready to immediately begin fulfilling my duties as a member.

My experience working in law enforcement and oversight bodies has provided me with significant expertise in combating corruption and conducting investigative activities.

I consider myself a worthy candidate for membership in the Public Council under ARMA, as I have extensive experience as an effective and dedicated civil society leader. Our organization cooperates with numerous charitable foundations, civic associations, and NGOs, providing legal assistance in matters of preventing and combating corruption, protecting citizens’ rights and freedoms, and promoting public order and safety.

- Lytvyn Roman
CSO: Civil Society Organization “Stop Corruption”
Autobiography: Biography of Lytvyn
Motivations for Participation:
I consider myself a worthy candidate for membership in the Public Council under ARMA, as I possess experience in addressing key issues currently faced by our country. I have practical expertise in detecting and combating shadow and unlawful schemes employed by public officials across various sectors of public administration — including public procurement, corporate raiding, and illegal actions of law enforcement bodies against entrepreneurs. Therefore, I can contribute my knowledge and experience toward finding effective solutions to such problems.
Having worked within advisory and consultative bodies attached to executive authorities, I understand the role, necessity, and effectiveness of such institutions, as well as the specifics of interaction between the public and government.
I am ready to contribute by all lawful and legitimate means to the elimination of any, even minor or potential instances of corruption, for the sake of developing and strengthening Ukraine’s economy. I firmly believe that in a democratic and rule-of-law state, civil society must be a truly key element, while public authorities are obliged to consider the interests of the community.

- Zharykov Heorhii
CSO: Civil Society Organization “People Against Corruption”
Autobiography: Biography of Heorhii Zharykov
Motivations for Participation:
The Revolution of Dignity showed me how powerful and determined the Ukrainian people are, and that in our state, power must truly derive from the will of the majority — as it does in genuinely democratic countries. It was then that I realized I could no longer remain indifferent to the arbitrariness of officials and blatant lawlessness.
I am firmly convinced that the people are the primary source of power, and every public official must understand that they are accountable to the citizens whose taxes fund their salaries.
I have personally encountered dishonest officials who, abusing their positions through inaction, lobbying for third-party or personal interests, or exceeding their authority, neglected the interests of the community and violated human rights and freedoms. I believe that the very existence of such a body as the Public Council ensures civic oversight of officials’ activities, reminding them whose interests must always come first.
The Public Council, composed of dedicated civic activists who truly care about justice and integrity, should consist of individuals genuinely ready to work for a brighter future for our region and our country.

Autobiography: Biography of Rusakov
Motivations for Participation:
My desire to become a member of the Public Council is driven by intolerance toward corruption and a strong commitment to protecting the state’s anti-corruption policy. I am convinced that ARMA is an independent and effective institution.
At the same time, there has been a growing number of attacks and acts of sabotage against the national anti-corruption infrastructure. We have witnessed controversial court decisions and dangerous initiatives by members of parliament. The election of the Public Council carries a serious risk that unscrupulous actors might attempt to influence the work of this anti-corruption body. Therefore, it is essential for society to actively resist destructive external interference by electing candidates of integrity and genuine public trust.

Motivations for Participation:
Since 2007, I, Olha Kasian, have been actively involved in the civic life of Ukrainian society and have participated in numerous international projects. I have accumulated substantial experience and developed many initiatives that, I believe, will be valuable in enhancing cooperation between the Public Council under the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes and civil society organizations.
By profession, I am a political scientist and, by my second degree, an international lawyer. Since 2015, I have been engaged in addressing the issue of legalizing foreign volunteers. Each year, the range of problems faced by citizens of other countries who have defended or continue to defend Ukraine in the East expands.
In 2017, the public was outraged by the cynical misuse of funds allocated to veterans’ organizations. I could not remain indifferent and therefore took an active role in conducting an audit of state budget expenditures for the support and financing of veteran NGOs.
Since 2020, I have served as Chair of the Public Council under ARMA. During my tenure, numerous initiatives were launched to improve legislation and enhance the overall functioning of ARMA. I believe that my experience as Chair of the Public Council under ARMA will be instrumental in the future work of the Council under the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes.

I have personal experience as a member of the CSO “NPU ‘Mezhyhirya’” in preserving the Mezhyhirya residence.

I also took part directly in preserving the property of the former hunting residence in the village of Sukholuchchya, which today is among ARMA’s key asset management cases. My civic engagement, demonstrated patriotism — including active participation in combat operations during 2014–2016 — and unique experience in safeguarding high-value assets motivate me to further strengthen the role of the state and contribute to the development of a strong, free, and prosperous Ukraine.

The key objectives of my organization include encouraging legal businesses to operate transparently and pay taxes voluntarily; providing support and protection to businesses in Ukraine through the efforts and resources of the organization; identifying and preventing illegal business activities that violate Ukrainian legislation; and combating corruption within state authorities, which creates conditions that restrict and suppress legitimate business in Ukraine.
Over the course of my civic activity, I have established professional connections with representatives of various business sectors not only in Kyiv but also across Ukraine. I believe that my experience — as well as that of the members of the Investors’ Protection organization — will contribute to resolving the issues that may arise in the work of the Public Council.

Since 2016, I have begun researching the topic of political corruption in Ukraine and the concept of “Pork-Barrel politics” and became a co-author of a methodology for monitoring, evaluating, and preventing political corruption related to lobbying by Members of Parliament for the allocation of state budget funds to address issues at the constituency level. Therefore, I wish to oversee the actions of state authorities in overcoming the consequences of political corruption. I also express my readiness to carry out public oversight of the activities of the National Agency of Ukraine for Finding, Tracing and Management of Assets Derived from Corruption and Other Crimes, as well as my readiness to monitor the implementation of transparent and effective mechanisms for managing seized assets.
