Banks-bankrupts and NBU's refinancing of some banks in Ukraine.

Beginning in 2014, bank crisis is continuing in 2015 in Ukraine. Thus, the next Ukrainian banks had been closed in 2014: "Commerce Bank Daniel" (its proprietor was Ukrainian businessman Ihor Rozhok),  "Real Bank" (young Ukrainian oligarch Serhiy Kurchenko was its owner), "Merkuriy Bank" (Oleksandr Oliynyk, former First Deputy of Minister of Defence of Ukraine in February of 2012 - February of 2014), "Brokbusinessbank" (oligarch Serhiy Kurchenko and brothers-businessmen Serhiy and Oleksandr Buryak), "Forum Bank" (proprietor - Russian-Ukrainian oligarch and Ukrainian people's deputy Vadym Novynskyy), "Interbank", "Zakhidincombank" (Yuriy Ivanyushchenko, oligarch from Donetsk), "Avtokrazbank" (less-known entrepreneurs from Donetsk), "Promeconombank" (Ukrainian businessman Volodymyr Prodyvus and Artem Rozhok, son of I. Rozhok), "Starokyyivskyy Bank" (Dmytro Vilenskyy and Yuriy Yaremenko, Kyiv bankers), "Pivdencombank", "Finrostbank", "Commerce Bank Ukrainian Financial World" (Ukrainian businessman Pavlo Klymets), "European Gas Bank" (Oleksiy Ivchenko, businessman from Lviv), "Zoloti Vorota Bank" (Ukrainian media connected this bank with politician Mykhaylo Dobkin), "Terra Bank" (Ruslan Tsyplakov, businessman from Donetsk). And in 2015 "Praym Bank" (related to politician Oleksandr Volkov), "Akta Bank" (its proprietor was Vadym Yermolayev, businessman from Dnipropetrovsk), "Intercreditbank", "Green Bank", "Ekspobank" (Yuriy Hetmanenko, Honoured Consul of Cyprus in Ukraine), "Demark Bank" (Ukrainian businessman Andriy Shynkovenko), "Porto-Franko Bank" (Myroslav Shkolenko, businessman from Odesa), "Commerce Bank Aksioma" (Ihor Sbitnyev, businessman from Kharkiv), "Melior Bank" (Forbes connected it with politician M. Dobkin), "BG Bank", "Legbank" (Latvian businessman Artur Yeresko), "Bank Cambio", "City Commerce Bank" (group of businessmen owned that bank), "VAB Bank" (Ukrainian agricultural billionaire Oleh Bakhmatyuk) had finally finished its bank activity. Besides it, in 2015 National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) admitted bankrupts such Ukrainian banks: "Imeksbank" (its owner - Leonid Klimov, businessman from Odesa), "Nadra Bank" (Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash), "Zlatobank" (Ukrainian businessman Leonid Yurushev), "Standart Bank" (Ukrainian businessman Vitaliy Taran), "Energobank" (Russian businessman Anatoliy Danylytskyy), "Kyivska Rus' Bank" (Ukrainian businessman Viktor Bratko), "Delta Bank", "Astra Bank", "Creditprombank" (Ukrainian businessman and banker Mykola Lahun was owner of these last three banks).
But some banks were lucky indeed and had gotten lavish gifts from National Bank of Ukraine in 2015 year. NBU had given stabilizing loan for 2 years to "Finances and Credit Bank" (Ukrainian oligarch Kostyantyn Zhevaho owns this bank) in the amount of 100 million hryvnias on 12th February 2015 and in the amount of 700 million hryvnias on 16th February 2015, and had given stabilizing loan for 2 years to "Credit Dnipro Bank" (its owner is Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk) in the sum of 143 million 500 thousand hryvnias on 4th March 2015 and in the sum of 357 million hryvnias on 19th March 2015. And on 31st March 2015 NBU  had given stabilization credit for 2 years to "Platinum Bank" (Cypriote firm "Platinum Public Limited") in the amount of 240 million hryvnias. Though the most generous refinancing of Ukrainian banks was made by National Bank of Ukraine on 4th March 2015, when NBU gave stabilization credits for 2 years in the sum of 380 million hryvnias to Russian! "Alfa-Bank" (Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman), 266 million 500 thousand hryvnias to "Fidobank" (Ukrainian businessman and banker Oleksandr Adarich), 109 million 645 thousand hryvnias to Russian! "Prominvestbank" (its owner is Russian bank "Vnesheconombank"), 85 million hryvnias to "PUMB" ("First Ukrainian International Bank", its proprietor - Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov), 80 million 406 thousand hryvnias to "Khreshchatyk Bank" (Vasyl Khmelnytskyy and Ihor Dvoretskyy, businessmen from Kyiv), 73 million hryvnias to "Ukrinbank" (Ukrainian businessman and banker Volodymyr Klymenko), 52 million 300 thousand hryvnias to Russian! "VTB Bank" (Russian state "VTB Bank Russia"), 34 million 500 thousand hryvnias to "Credit Europe Bank" (Dutch bank of "Credit Europe Group"), 19 million 500 thousand hryvnias to "Diamondbank" (Ukrainian oligarch Davyd Zhvaniya), 8 million 869 thousand hryvnias to "Sich Bank" (Ukrainian businessmen Valeriy Razdorozhnyy and Oleh Balanda), 6 million hryvnias to "Oksibank" (Oleh Balyash, businessman from Lviv). But Ukrainian biggest bank "Privatbank" (Ukrainian oligarchs Ihor Kolomoyskyy and Hennadiy Boholyubov are its proprietors) became also the luckiest bank, because it was refinanced by NBU several times during the last time and had gotten stabilizing loans for 2 years in the amount of 2 billion 380 million hryvnias on 4th December 2014, 700 million hryvnias on 27th February 2015, 1 billion 215 million hryvnias on 12th March 2015, 800 million hryvnias on 27th March 2015. So, from December of 2014 till the end of March of 2015 "Privatbank" had received NBU stabilization credits lasting 2 years in the sum of 5 billion 95 million hryvnias! And there are all official dates about state refinancing of the banks from the site of NBU. http://www.bank.gov.ua/control/uk/publish/category?cat_id=55838 It seems that when protege of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and the Head of National Bank of Ukraine Valeriya Hontaryeva gave so huge sums to refinance the bank of the oligarchs Kolomoyskyy and Boholyubov, so at least P. Poroshenko and I. Kolomoyskyy aren't the enemies.
Generally it's some unbelievable situation! Meanwhile Ukrainian government collects credits in International Monetary Fund (IMF) and foreign states for Ukrainian citizens' weal, as Ukrainian state power always says, National Bank of Ukraine gives out such lavish loans to the banks, which are mainly the property of Ukrainian oligarchs and it's at the time of the great devaluation of Ukrainian monetary unit. When many Ukrainians can't buy even a loaf of the bread every day for their families, but must buy a half of the loaf because of high price for the bread (7,5-14 hryvnias per one loaf of wheat bread in the different regions of Ukraine), the Head of NBU Hontaryeva publicized her declaration of the incomes for 2014 year on 26th March 2015, where she declared 26 million 288 thousand 413 hryvnias as her income in 2014. While Ukrainian people must pay more for natural gas and electricity since 1st April 2015 and for heat energy since 1st May 2015 because of getting IMF's credit in March of 2015, as Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers explained increasing of the rates of public utilities for Ukraine's population, NBU gave stabilization credits for 2 years to three Russian banks in total sum of 541 million 945 thousand hryvnias in the same month - in March, 2015! So. Do You believe in the tale that present Ukrainian state power is working for Ukraine's weal? I don't.
