Biography
Kivya's political career began in 2013, when he unsuccessfully stood for the Verkhovna Rada. He was later appointed deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' regional department for Donetsk. In 2016, he attracted controversy for endorsing extrajudicial methods of combatting drug crime while at the helm of the ministry's anti-drug crime division. He was an unsuccessful candidate in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election.
Treason charge
On 24 February 2022 Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine. On this day Kyva expressed support for the invasion claiming "the Ukrainian people need liberation" and he also claimed that "Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians are one people." Furthermore he stated that Ukraine was "enslaved and brought to its knees by the West, imbued with Nazism, and has no future." He blamed the war on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and urged him to resign.
Prior to the invasion Kyva had left for Spain. On 3 March 2022 Kyva was expelled from the party and faction of Opposition Platform — For Life. On 6 March 2022 Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova announced that Kiva was being charged with high treason, as well as infringing on Ukraine's territorial integrity, taking part in Russian war propaganda, and illegal weapons possession.
On 15 March 2022 the Verkhovna Rada deprived Kyva of his mandate as a People's Deputy.
