Eduard Stavytsky is a Ukrainian politician who became better known for the scandal with transferring of Mezhyhirya state residence from government to private possession.

Brief biographical overview

A graduate of the National Mining University of Ukraine (Dnipropetrovsk) and the National Academy of State Management (Kiev), in 1994-2006 Stavytsky worked on management positions at the "Ecological Fuel of Ukraine" in Oleksandriya, while also sponsoring the local youth football club "Oleksandriya-Amethyst" (part of the FC Oleksandriya).

Inn 2007-2010 Stavytsky worked as a director of the state company "Nadra Ukrayiny" that specializes in geological surveying and governed by the State Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine (Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources). During that period he was suspected in unlawful alienation of the state residence, for which he was fired twice, but reinstated on court orders.

In 2010 after Mykola Azarov became the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Stavytsky was reinstated and later promoted to a chairman of State Service of Geology and Subsoil of Ukraine. The same year he also was able to become a local representative in the Zhytomyr Oblast council. In April-December of 2012 Stavytsky was given a portfolio of the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine in the First Azarov Cabinet. After Azarov was reelected as the Prime Minister, Stavytsky became the Minister of Power Generation and Coal Industry of Ukraine.

As part of investigation against the Ukrainian holding company VETEK owned by Serhiy Kurchenko, Eduard Stavytsky got on the wanted list of the General Prosecutor of Ukraine.[1] He is since then a fugitive.[2]

On 15 April 2014 Stavytsky's assets in the European Union were frozen.[3]

Nadra Ukrayiny and Mezhyhirya

Between June through November of 2007 the state residence switched ownership at least four times, while also being involved into a court case during that period.
