The court stated that the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) had prematurely and unjustifiably recognized Khreschatyk Bank insolvent. The NBU attributed the bank to the group of problematic institutions for a 180-day period on April 4, 2016, while recognizing it insolvent as early as the next day, April 5. At the same time, the NBU referred to the bank's violation of the capital adequacy standards, although before that it had allowed banks to violate it, FinClub reports.

Therefore, the Higher Administrative Court decided to uphold the decision of January 19 by Kyiv's District Administrative Court and the decision of April 20 by the Kyiv Administrative Court of Appeal, which satisfied the claim of Bohdan Hawrylyshyn Charitable Foundation, ‘Lundin Energy Center’ Charitable Foundation, and Sirius-1 LLC, as well as found unlawful and abolished NBU Resolution No. 234 of April 5, 2016, on the attribution of Khreschatyk Bank to a group of insolvent financial institutions.
