Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has publicly declared his income for the first time since the start of the war with Russia amid a push to increase transparency and alleviate fears of corruption in his government.

In a Jan. 28 statement, Mr. Zelenskyy revealed that in 2021, the year before the start of the war, his family earned roughly 10.8 million hryvnia, which works out to be around $285,000. The income for that year mainly consisted of salaries, bank interest, income from renting out real estate and around 5 million hryvnia, or $142,000, from the sale of government bonds.
