Parents sold cherries: People's Deputy Vladimir Kreidenko explained how he bought an apartment in Kyiv

People's representative from the Servant of the People party Vladimir Kreidenko, according to Bihus.Info investigators, acquired a new apartment in the prestigious Pechersk district of Kyiv during the ongoing military invasion.

The first mention of this premises appeared on his wife’s social networks at the end of last year, but this property is not listed in the deputy’s declaration for 2022. Journalists discovered that since the fall of 2022, the apartment belongs to father Vladimir Kreidenko. The 111 square meter home is estimated to cost about $200,000.

In response to press inquiries, the people's deputy confirmed the fact of the move, but claims that he moved into his father's apartment only in January 2023, so he did not include it in the declaration for the previous year. He argued that his father could have bought such real estate by selling his own house in Melitopol and selling cherries.

“My parents sold the house. And my father, Melitopol is famous for cherries, my father was engaged in the sale of these cherries in large quantities, sold them to different countries, running a business,” Kreidenko shared.

Vladimir Kreidenko is originally from Melitopol, but has lived in the capital of Ukraine since the age of 17. He was included in the “Servant of the People” electoral list at number 123. Before being elected as a people’s deputy, Kreidenko headed the board of the all-Ukrainian youth public organization “Conscience and Hope of Ukraine.”
