"More than a billion in losses per year": Bohdan Tsimeyko on the cost of the Treasury's failure to execute court decisions

The Kyiv District Administrative Court opened proceedings on Bohdan Tsimeyko’s lawsuit concerning government resolution No.845, which regulates the enforcement of court decisions requiring the recovery of funds.

Bohdan Tsimeyko, founder of the public organization "Protection of the Ukrainian People," reported that he is challenging a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine that determines the procedure for recovering funds from the state and local budgets. According to him, delays in executing court decisions have not only caused the state to accumulate debts to citizens but also put it at risk of additional financial losses. He wrote this on his Facebook page and published the text of the court ruling.

The Kyiv District Administrative Court 29 September 2026 opened proceedings in case No.320/37380/26 on the claim by Bohdan Tsimeyko against the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The plaintiff seeks to declare unlawful and invalid government resolution No.845 of 3 August 2011, which regulates the procedure for enforcing decisions on the recovery of funds from the state and local budgets or debtors.

In his Facebook post, Tsimeyko criticized the actions of certain state officials, in particular the leadership of the State Treasury Service of Ukraine and the government.

"Daily and consistently we continue to press against the arbitrariness, lawlessness, and irresponsibility of certain officials of state authorities," Bohdan Tsimeyko wrote.

Billion-hryvnia debts under court decisions

According to information published by the public figure, the State Treasury Service informed the NGO "Protection of the Ukrainian People" by letter of 3 August 2026 No.2-18-06/19810 about a significant number of unenforced court decisions.

Specifically, as of that date, under budget program CPVKK 3504040 there were 279 thousand enforcement documents on record with a total amount of 9 billion 92 million UAH.

At the same time, the state budget for 2026 year provided only 100 million UAH for the corresponding program.

Thus, the difference between the total outstanding debt and the planned budget funds amounts to 8 billion 992 million UAH.

Tsimeyko is convinced that insufficient funding for the execution of court decisions may lead to additional state budget expenses due to the accrual of three percent per annum and inflationary losses.

"A simple mathematical calculation yields the annual minimum amount of direct losses caused by the unlawful inaction (sabotage) of the State Treasury Service of Ukraine," he said.

According to his calculations, just three percent per annum on the amount of 8,992 billion UAH could amount to 269,76 million UAH. The post’s author also factors in potential inflationary charges.

He estimates potential additional budget expenditures of more than one billion hryvnias over 2026 year.

At the same time, the amounts cited are Tsimeyko’s own calculations, not court-determined damages. The actual size of any accruals depends on the legal grounds, periods of delay, and circumstances of enforcement of specific court decisions.

Why Bohdan Tsimeyko is challenging the Cabinet resolution

In his lawsuit the public figure asserts that Cabinet of Ministers resolution No.845 violates his property rights and the rights of the private enterprise "Production and Distribution Company 'House of Wine 'SKALA'".

According to the plaintiff, the government-established mechanism effectively limits the possibilities for undisputed write-off of budget funds to satisfy court decisions.

Tsimeyko also believes that the resolution creates obstacles to the timely enforcement of court decisions and narrows the guarantees for recovery of funds provided by law.

For these reasons he asks the court to declare unlawful the actions of the Cabinet of Ministers related to adopting the resolution and to annul its effect.

Court opened proceedings: what is known about the case review

According to the published ruling of 29 September 2026, Judge M. A. Bilonozhenko of the Kyiv District Administrative Court found the lawsuit materials sufficient to open proceedings.

The case will be heard under the rules of general claim proceedings by a panel of judges chaired by Judge Bilonozhenko.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was ordered to publish a notice of the appeal against the regulatory act. The government was also given a 15-day period to file its response to the claim.

After receiving the response, the plaintiff will have five days to submit a reply. The same amount of time is provided for the defendant’s objections after receiving that reply.

The date and time of the preparatory hearing will be notified to the case participants separately.

It should be noted that opening proceedings does not mean the resolution is deemed unlawful. The court only accepted the claim for consideration; the legal assessment of the plaintiff’s demands will be made during the trial.

Tsimeyko himself emphasizes the need to hold officials accountable for the situation with the enforcement of court decisions.

"No responsibility!! No responsibility to the Ukrainian people," Bohdan Tsimeyko emotionally emphasized on Facebook.

The ruling opening the proceedings entered into legal force upon signing and is not subject to appeal.

Recall that on 29 September 2026 the Kyiv District Administrative Court opened proceedings in case No.320/37380/26 on the claim of veteran worker Bohdan Tsimeyko against the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The plaintiff seeks to declare invalid the government resolution of 03.08.2011 No.845, which approved the Procedure for enforcing decisions on the recovery of funds from the state and local budgets or debtors. The outcome of this case will determine the fate of thousands of Ukrainians who have been waiting for years, and sometimes decades, for the state to carry out decisions made in the name of Ukraine.
