Since the 1990s, Solod has been engaged in business ventures with his wife Natalia Korolevska.[3][4]

In the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Solod was elected to the Ukrainian parliament for Opposition Bloc after winning a single-member district seat in Sloviansk with 34.17% of the votes.[4][5] In the same election, Korolevska was also re-elected to parliament after placing 8th on the electoral list of Opposition Bloc.[4][6][7]

In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Solod was re-elected, this time as a candidate of the party Opposition Platform — For Life after winning the same single-member district seat.[8][9] His spouse Korolevska was also re-elected, having been placed 4th on the party list of Opposition Platform — For Life.[9]

He is reported to have left Ukraine in early February 2022.[10]

In February 2023 Solod and his wife Korolevska asked for the deprivation of their parliamentary mandates for "health and family circumstance."[11] On 24 February 2023 parliament withdrew their mandates.[11]

Solod and his spouse have two sons.[12]
