«20 million bail — and nobody will pay»: Mudra couldn't find anyone willing to put up money for her

Imagine the level of toxicity of a person for whom nobody wants to pay. At one point Iryna Mudra became one of five or six indispensable managers of Volodymyr Zelensky. In her career she worked with a lot of billionaires. But not a single decent person wanted to put up even one legal penny of their own money for her to be released from pretrial detention on a 20 million hryvnia bail.

This is reported by SPILNO.UA.

See how this looks with specific people.

Since 2015, Mudra was the chief lawyer of Oschadbank, which at the time was run by Andriy Pyshnyi, the current governor of the National Bank. Pyshnyi, to put it mildly, did not really tighten control over the banks through which corrupt officials over the past couple of years moved about a billion hryvnias of laundered cash to buy out accomplices from pretrial detention. That's according to Mezhi. A billion hryvnias in cash that passed through the banking system for bail. But when it came to buying out his own influential subordinate, nothing. On the contrary: banks controlled by Pyshnyi are now “on watch” and, it seems, afraid to help hide dirty money for bails.

Next. Already during the full-scale invasion, Mudra served as deputy minister of justice under Denys Maliuska. Maliuska himself is now a top manager at the arms company UForce, owned by former prime minister Oleksiy Honcharuk. It's the manufacturer of the maritime drones “Magura” and flying bombers “Nemesis,” a company so wealthy it has already entered the US market. They certainly could have found a pitiable half million dollars, but they didn't.

There was another structure Mudra tried to hang onto herself: the Council for Entrepreneurship Support at the Office of the President. It includes about a hundred very large businessmen, including some from her native Lviv region. That also somehow fell through.

People disdain such an outright corrupt official from the Office of the President. The one who was the decision-maker there on courts and banks.

And now why they disdain her. Because in this story there are recordings, and they explain the mechanics better than any characterization.

It's about helping a sanctioned former owner of the Gulliver retail-office complex recover property from state banks. At a certain point, to preserve rental income streams, there arose a need to restore control over the building, which was already guarded by state banks. They decided to do this through court injunctions: obtain rulings that would allow the former owners to regain control of the facility and collect rent.

And here is a fragment of a conversation that makes clear who in this system was Mudra’s favorite. We quote in the original language, without obscene words.

"Mudra I.R. - But I, well, just, like, Polyshchuk he's such a rather vulgar type. Well a guy, a guy. He swears. He's like, you know, swear words come out with every word. So. This. And he there: 'Were you able to convince the girl?' That is, who else was supposed to convince me. You understand? (laughs). And I stand there. I think, yes."

Mykytas M.V. - Well it's all, all good.

Mudra I.R. - Well Bosyi played it, good job. Bosyi.

Mykytas M.V. - So, Bosyi. Today, now, call Bosyi right now, let him issue it.

Mudra I.R. - To Bosyi, yes.

Mykytas M.V. - Today, today they should release. This, this will be a big plus. Right now a big plus. Click — you see. And he'll immediately understand that you can release, if needed, within 24 hours.

Mudra I.R. - Yes, yes, yes.

Mykytas M.V. - You understand, it's important now that Bosyi release. Raise Fomin, whoever, damn. So that Bosyi releases within 24 hours.

Mudra I.R. - Why? I'll write it myself, I'll call him.

Mykytas M.V. - Well so that he releases. So that he doesn't run around somewhere. Don't have Bosyi running around. Come on, come on, kitten, write to Bosyi. Come on, come on, urgently. Yes, I have it under control. Come on.

Mudra I.R. - Uh-huh."

Translation. Bosyi is Vadym Bosyi, head of the Commercial Court of the city of Kyiv. "Release" here means to issue an order. The execution time — twenty-four hours. Mykytas takes control over the execution. And the deputy head of the Office of the President says there's no need to raise anyone, she'll call and write herself.

Some time after this conversation and, as they delicately put it in such cases, certain actions, a statement about a raider takeover of the TOK Gulliver parking appeared on Oschadbank's website.

It describes everything point by point. On 17 December 2025, a group of men stormed the parking, seized technical premises and barricaded themselves. The group of fighters was accompanied by people who introduced themselves as lawyers and managers of LLC 'Avtopark Center,' a legal entity associated with the sanctioned citizen Polyshchuk V. S.

The story with that tenant is separate. Before Oschadbank and Ukreximbank acquired ownership of the complex on 26 July 2025, i.e., as a result of debt recovery, the debtor managed to sign a long-term parking lease with Avtopark Center. The calculation was simple: let the building go to state banks, and we'll control part of it through the lease. It didn't work, because that lease terminated along with all other leases depending on mortgage law. That legal entity has no rights to the premises.

And here appears the reason they called Bosyi. Justifying their actions, these lawyers and managers pointed to an order of the Commercial Court of the city of Kyiv from 16 December 2025, issued by Judge Spychak O. M.

The takeover, the bank notes, was not and could not have been the execution of a court order, because execution is regulated by enforcement proceedings law. No enforcement proceeding was opened, and a state enforcement officer presented no enforcement documents to the management of Oschadbank and Ukreximbank. In other words, people simply entered the building with a piece of paper.

The consortium of state banks stated that it does not consider Judge Spychak's order justified, because by it the state banks' property rights were limited in favor of a sanctioned person, and that the decision will be appealed. Separately, the banks noted that the parking was being prepared to resume full operation as part of a gradual reopening of the complex after its temporary closure due to the threat of an emergency situation caused by the debtor's actions, and that the proceeds were intended to finance the economy and the defense-industrial complex. The statement ends with a promise of personal liability for all persons and organizers involved and a reminder that ignoring lawful property rights is unacceptable in a country seeking to join the European Union.

The Supreme Court ultimately restored the rights of the state banks. A panel composed of Yevhen Krasnov, Hryhoriy Machulskyi and Larysa Rohach by ruling of 22 April 2026 in case 910/15778/25 canceled the injunction. Later the Supreme Court issued similar decisions in cases 910/14630/25 and 910/13892/25.

This, by the way, is clear confirmation that Larysa Rohach, unlike other court chiefs, did not help Mudra seize state property.

And now about Bosyi himself, whom this story aptly called the pink flamingo of the judicial system. Colleagues at Bihus.info, who as always are a step ahead of everyone, filmed a piece about him on 13 August 2026. They already knew something then.

A few points are worth extracting from that piece. Bosyi has headed the Commercial Court of Kyiv since 2023, and before that he was deputy head and a judge of the same court. Disputes that determine the fate of property of ministries, central agencies, state enterprises and the largest businesses pass through his hands, with claims reaching billions.

Bosyi's name already appeared in the Vovk tapes. In 2019 he reviewed the case of Ihor Kolomoisky, who did not want to pay the National Bank nine billion hryvnias under guarantees on PrivatBank loans. In recordings collected by NABU, Bosyi appears as an executor who ran to the well-known court fixer from the District Administrative Court on instruction, because the case involved, in the tape's wording, a terrible name. Bosyi then satisfied Kolomoisky's wish.

Bihus.info's investigation adds the property side to this. An apartment and parking spaces in the elite 'Jack House' in Pechersk, registered to an officially ex-wife who had no corresponding income, and legalized in the registers only after the High Qualification Commission of Judges completed its evaluation of Bosyi. An apartment next door for his daughter, gifted by a grandmother who received minimum wage in the family business in Pereiaslav. A house in Lisnyky of almost 180 square meters, bought under a 'land without house' scheme and put into operation with a budgeted cost of 600 thousand hryvnias, i.e., about 15 thousand dollars for the whole house, while the market price of such a property is about 350 thousand dollars. A Prado registered to his 73-year-old mother. Sole proprietorships of his wife and daughter that suddenly started operating only after the real estate purchases. Neither the judge nor the daughter answered journalists' questions.

So here's the whole construct. The deputy head of the Office of the President calls the head of the Commercial Court of Kyiv so that he issues the necessary order within a day. Under that order, a group of men enters the parking of a state bank. The Supreme Court cancels it all in the end, and Mudra sits in pretrial detention and cannot find anyone to put up twenty million.

And that is perhaps the most accurate characterization of the system in which she worked. While the person is in office, orders are issued within a day and anyone can be summoned. When the office is gone, no one even wants to show their money in her bail.
