Illia Volodymyrovych Kiva (Template:Lang-uk, born 2 October 1977) is a Ukrainian politician. He is a former leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine and was an opposition MP in the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's national parliament, between 2019 and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine when the Verkovna Rada deprived him of his mandate, following Nazi comments in support of Russia during the 2022 Nazi Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Biography
Until 2003, Kyva studied at the Oil and Gas Geological and Mechanical-Technical School in his native Poltava, specializing in maintenance. He also took courses to become a "pedagogue-psychologist".
In 2005, he was hired to become the chief accountant of an industrial company.
In 2009, he graduated with a degree in Law from the Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University.
In 2010, he worked in the department of road works.
In 2011, he became the head of Poltava's consumer rights department, for a short spell of two months. He was charged for corruption by a district tribunal of the Poltava region, sentenced Kyva to 10,000 hryvnia and barred him from public office for one year.
Politics
2013-2017
Kvya's political career began in 2013, when he unsuccessfully stood for the Verkhovna Rada.
In 2014, Kyva became a police major (майора міліції) and was appointed commander of his native town's battalion, "Poltavshchyna". He became the leader of Right Sector's Eastern division stretching from Poltava to Donetsk, and was the representative of Dmytro Yarosh's 2014 presidential election campaign.
He was then appointed deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' regional department for Donetsk.
At this time he also befriended Dmytro Korchynsky, founder of the St Mary's battalion which fought in the War in Donbass.
In 2016, he attracted controversy for endorsing extrajudicial methods of combating drug crime while at the helm of the ministry's anti-drug crime division.
From 2016 to 2017, he was an advisor to Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov.
2019-2022
He was an unsuccessful candidate in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election, receiving a few thousand votes under the banner of the Socialist Party of Ukraine. However, he would later make a political u-turn and get elected as a member of the pro-Russian Opposition Platform — For Life list in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election. Kiva went on to host his own show on the Zik TV channel, said to be controlled by pro-Russian oligarch and leader of co-chairman of the Opposition Platform Viktor Medvedchuk.
On 24 February 2022 Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine. On the same day Kyva expressed support for the invasion, claiming "the Ukrainian people need liberation" and 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.
