And, apparently, to the "watcher" from Bankova, Veselyi.
Today NABU carried out searches at the National Bank of Ukraine. In particular, investigative actions took place at its head, Andrii Pyshnyi, although detectives have not officially confirmed this — reported MP from Holos, Yaroslav Zhelezniak. He, citing several sources, noted that this story is connected to the Karpatnaftokhim plant and the control of Sens Bank by outside persons.
"In both cases the 'watcher' from Bankova is involved — Vasyl Veselyi," Zhelezniak reminds. "According to the testimony of the former chair of the supervisory board of Sens Bank, it was the head of the NBU who brought him in."
The Karpatnaftokhim case. On the "Mindich tapes" a fragment of a conversation is recorded between former advisor to the supervisory board of Sens Bank Vasyl Veselyi and businessman Oleksandr Tsukerman about a 'scheme' they wanted to run with Ukraine's largest chemical plant, Karpatnaftokhim, which until 2022 was under the Russian group Lukoil. After the start of the full-scale war it stopped operating, and in October of 2022 its assets were seized and placed under ARMA management. But already in June of 2024 the plant got a new owner: a businessman from Drohobych, Andrii Veselyi, who is considered a relative of Vasyl Veselyi, bought 33% for less than 1 million dollars.
The Sens Bank case. Fragments of the "Mindich tapes" also confirm that Tsukerman and Veselyi discussed appointing 'their' people to the new composition of the supervisory board of Sens Bank, after which the Cabinet of Ministers approved these candidates. By the way, in 2025 all of its members were paid 58 million hryvnias from the state budget. In September former board chair Shevki Adzhuner stated that it was Pyshnyi who personally introduced Veselyi to him as a person who 'was to establish communication between the supervisory board and stakeholders.' The head of the NBU later denied that he lobbied for his appointment as an advisor.
The "Forrest Gump" case. NABU and SAP "exposed" a criminal organization whose members — among them former MP and developer Maksym Mykytas, MP from the former OPZZh Vadym Stolar, and former Deputy Head of the Office of the President Iryna Mudra — ensured legalization of 150 million hryvnias obtained by criminal means, which were later used to pay bail for one of the defendants in the 'Midas' case. Preliminary reports indicate this concerns former Minister of Energy and Justice Herman Halushchenko. Also involved in the scheme were affiliated companies and management of state-owned Sens Bank, in particular CEO Oleh Stupak and chair of the supervisory board Mykola Hladyshenko. Both were suspended, and Pyshnyi stated that he had long pointed out problems at this bank.
