The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sens Bank, Mykola Hladyshenko, has voluntarily submitted his resignation. This decision comes as he seeks to clarify various circumstances surrounding recent media allegations.
On May 5, Hladyshenko participated in a session of the Verkhovna Rada’s Temporary Investigative Commission on Economic Security, where he addressed questions from committee members.
In an extraordinary meeting of the Supervisory Board, the responsibilities of the chairman have been transferred to Petro Novak.
Novak has been an independent member of the Supervisory Board since October 2025 and brings over 20 years of experience in banking and investment management. His background includes:
- Serving as a public advisor to the President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki;
- Holding positions as Minister of Economic Development and Technology and Deputy Minister of Finance in Poland;
- Working at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, D.C.
The bank has assured clients that all services will continue to operate without interruption, adhering to legislative procedures and international corporate governance practices to maintain stability.
Recently, the media outlet Ukrpravda released new segments of the so-called ‘Tymur Mindich tapes.’ These audio recordings allegedly feature Oleksandr Tsukerman, a figure in the Midas case, discussing potential candidates for the bank’s Supervisory Board with Vasyl Vesely, an advisor to the bank’s leadership.
According to Ukrpravda, Vesely expressed a desire for the board to include Novak, Jerzy Shugaev, Eva de Falk, Oleksandr Shchur, Hladyshenko, and Oleg Mistyuk. Notably, just 40 days after this conversation, the Cabinet appointed all of the aforementioned individuals to the Supervisory Board of Sens Bank.
Mykola Hladyshenko has resigned as Chairman of Sens Bank amid media scrutiny, with Petro Novak appointed as his successor. The bank continues to assure clients of uninterrupted service amid ongoing investigations.
