On July 7, 2026, the HACC partially granted the prosecutor's motion to extend the obligations imposed on former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Chernyshov, who is charged with illicit enrichment and declaring false information in connection with a large-scale corruption scheme in the energy sector.

Chernyshov currently remains subject to the following obligations:

• to appear whenever summoned by the NABU detective, the SAPO prosecutor, or the court;
• to refrain from communicating with other suspects and witnesses;
• to surrender his foreign travel passport.

The court, however, denied the extension of his obligation to wear an electronic monitoring device.

The NABU and the SAPO exposed a criminal organization comprising current and former officials, including from the energy sector. According to the prosecution, its members built a large-scale scheme to influence the operations of strategic state-sector enterprises, including Energoatom, receiving unlawful benefits and laundering the proceeds.
