The aforementioned Kyiv Post interview broached the delicate topic of Zalishchuk's slender financial means:

When asked how she is going to live on $320 a month, which lawmakers are currently making, under the new law, she says her father and fiance will support her, but she would like this issue to be addressed in the future.

“In a civilized state only high salaries can help to fight corruption, but we have to save our economy first. There are more important issues to tackle right now than salary of the deputies,” she says.

She does not appear to be in such a tight spot now. Even an anti-Russian outlet, GordonUA.com, has carried the news that Zalishchuk managed to purchase a 1,700 sq. ft apartment in glitzy downtown Kiev in the year of her election, but that she transferred its entry on the register of MPs' interests to the previous year (2013) in order to avoid it appearing on the election year's declaration and becoming a political football during the election campaign. As that same article reports, Zalishchuk herself took to social media to confirm that she had indeed purchased the expensive real estate as recently as 2014 and that it had been co-purchased by her common-law husband, the Swede Mårten Ehnberg, who had sold his Stockholm property to move in with her.

Another Ukrainian news article contains a screenshot of Ehnberg posing with a high-end 2010 Land Rover Discovery with CD (Corps Diplomatique, Diplomatic Corps) plates and announcing his return to Ukraine in May 2016. Ehnberg was appointed Head of the Council of Europe's office in Ukraine that summer and had previously (with an interim spell, apparently in Armenia) been Deputy Head of Mission at the Swedish Embassy in Kiev.

Even in English, one can see on the Ukrainian transparency website Politically Exposed Persons that Zalishchuk's declared earnings for both 2013 and 2014 hovered very close to a quarter of a million Ukrainian hryvnia (around £7,000 or $9,000).... :))
