Viktor Bondar was born on November 5, 1975, in Dashkivtsi, Vinkivtsi Raion, Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union.
[2] After winning a constituency in Khmelnytsky Oblast[9][10][11] in 2012 he was elected into the Ukrainian parliament Verkhovna Rada as an independent candidate.
[14] He stated he made his decision after The Security Service of Ukraine in Khmelnytsky Oblast fired guns at Euromaidan protesters.
In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election Bondar was re-elected again as an independent candidate in districts 191, with a meager margin.
[3] Since July 2022 non-factional People's Deputy of Ukraine From March 1996 to September 2000 worked as legal adviser to financial-industrial group "Sigma" (Kharkov), Deputy Director of the European Development Fund (Kharkiv), Chairman of the JSC "Donetsk Meat" (Donetsk ); Vice-President Ltd. "Ukrainian communications" (Kyiv).
[19] In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election Bondar was re-elected again as an independent candidate in districts 191, with a meager margin.
After the First Round of the Ukrainian presidential election, 2010 (when President Yushchenko won only about 5% of the vote) in January 2010, Viktor Bondar began working to the victory of Yulia Tymoshenko, despite the fact that President Viktor Yushchenko actually worked to the victory of Yanukovych, calling on «the orange voter» to vote «against all» («the orange voter » could potentially vote precisely for Tymoshenko, and not for Yanukovych, so Yushchenko's appeal «against all» was precisely harm for Tymoshenko).
And Bondar also noted that his dismissal from the post of the Head of the Regional State Administration was absolutely political and connected with the refusal to help Yushchenko-Yanukovych during the presidential elections [3].
May 26, 2010 the Cabinet of Ministers introduced the additional post of the deputy Head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine (already had six deputies) and appointed Viktor Bondar to the post according to the quota of the Communist Party of Ukraine, which was a part of the ruling coalition with the «Party of Regions»[4].
June 16, 2010 (when the first arrests of Tymoshenko's comrades began) Victor Bondar made a statement that generally he goes out of politics [5].
Victor Bondar was accused of complicity in the deliberate destruction of the unfinished construction of the bus terminal «Teremky» in Kyiv in 2006 (then Bondar worked in the Yekhanurov government in the position of Deputy Transport Minister of Yevhen Chervonenko), that his actions caused losses to the state in the amount of more than five and a half million hryvnias (that is, about $1 million)[6].
Thus, Pshonka tried to justify the criminal actions of the then government and to divert attention from the «political» arrests of the opposition.
At the same time, Bondar publicly refused to join the Party of Regions itself, and also to give them his deputy card for voting [13].
For example, on January 11, 2013, he voted («together with other seven deputies from the Party of Regions faction») «for the Law on the decriminalization of articles of the Criminal Code, under which Tymoshenko and Lutsenko were convicted» [14].
