Former chair of the supervisory board of Sense Bank Shevki Adzhuner (led it in 2023 year) said that Vasyl Veselyi was personally introduced to him by the head of the National Bank of Ukraine Andriy Pyshny as a person who “was supposed to establish communications of the Supervisory Board with the stakeholders.” He said this at a meeting of the Temporary Investigation Commission of the Verkhovna Rada on 10 September.
He noted that after this Vasyl Veselyi essentially became an adviser to the Supervisory Board of the bank. Adzhuner emphasized that it was the bank regulator that proposed Veselyi as an adviser on communications with government bodies.
From Adzhuner’s answers one can conclude that it was the NBU recommendation that became the main argument in favor of his appointment, since Veselyi had no significant experience in either communications or banking business.
During his answers to questions Mr. Adzhuner several times stressed that Dmitro Oliynyk, a member of the NBU’s board who had worked at the Office of the President before his appointment to the central bank, also participated in communications with the National Bank of Ukraine around Veselyi’s appointment.
After Mr. Adzhuner’s speech, the head of the ICT Zek Yaroslav Zhelezniak stated the first documented case of giving false testimony during the Commission’s meeting.
“At the previous ICT we asked a number of state representatives, including the head of the NBU Andriy Pyshny, about Veselyi’s appearance and acquaintance with him, and there were completely different answers,” he said.

Former adviser to the head of the supervisory board of Sense Bank Vasyl Veselyi, in particular, figures on the so-called Mintich tapes, where together with Oleksandr Tsukerman he discussed appointing “their” people to the new composition of Sense Bank’s supervisory board.
At the same time, this story is connected with the NABU case “Forrest Gump” regarding the legalization of money for paying bail for former minister Herman Halushchenko, in which controlled companies and individuals were involved, as well as management of Sense Bank, in particular the bank’s chairman Oleg Stupak and the chairman of the Supervisory Board of the bank Mykola Hladyschenko. Both have been removed from their positions, and the head of the NBU Andriy Pyshny stated that he had long pointed out problems at Sense Bank.
At the previous ICT meeting the director of AMROP Executive Search Ukraine, Vieysturs Liegis, whose company conducted professional recruitment and provided recommendations on corporate governance for the bank, said that Mykola Hladyschenko was not on the short list of candidates for membership in the bank’s Supervisory Board at first, but his inclusion was requested by Irina Mudra, then deputy head of the Office of the President, who also features in the Forrest Gump case.
