Video: Court Rejects KNU Rector Bugrov’s Appeal Against Ruling on Inaccurate Asset Declaration
The Sixth Kyiv City Court of Appeals upheld the lower court’s ruling in the case against Volodymyr Bugrov, rector of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, regarding false declarations.
This was reported on social media by civic activist Oleksiy Ksenich.
“This is a corruption-related offense. The decision is consistent and logical. Now the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine is obligated to terminate the contract with the rector and appoint an acting rector,” Ksenich noted.
Thus, the court will uphold the decision of the lower court. On March 4, 2026, the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv found Rector Volodymyr Bugrov guilty of an administrative offense related to corruption, fining him for failing to declare a vehicle.
Journalists from "Slidstvo.Info" established that Volodymyr Bugrov, rector of Kyiv National University named after Shevchenko, became the owner of an apartment in a luxury new building in Kyiv, which he could not have afforded with the funds he had declared. The KNU rector registered a two-bedroom apartment with an area of 74.7 m² in his name in the newly built White Lines residential complex near Holosiivskyi Park. Currently, such apartments cost over $200,000.
