The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) fined “Vinara” LLC, the importer of the dietary supplement “HepaReal,” 993,900 UAH for providing false information regarding the product’s properties.
According to the AMCU, it determined that Vinara had disseminated information on the supplement’s packaging and online that directly positioned “HepaReal” as a hepatoprotective agent and attributed to it properties that may be characteristic, in particular, of medicinal products in the corresponding group.
“Vinara LLC failed to provide adequate evidence to substantiate the claimed properties of the dietary supplement, taking into account its full composition. Based on the results of the case review, the committee concluded that the information disseminated by Vinara LLC regarding the properties of the ‘Hepareal’ dietary supplement is false,” the committee noted.
The AMCU also determined that the market for the production and sale of medicinal products classified as hepatoprotective drugs—specifically, those containing the same active ingredient as listed in the composition of the “HepaReal” dietary supplement—is competitive.
“The Committee concluded that the company (IF-U) could have misled consumers regarding the properties and intended use of the dietary supplement ‘HepaReal’ and influenced their decisions to purchase it. As a result of such actions, Vinara LLC may have gained an unfair competitive advantage,” the statement notes.
Based on the results of the case review, the AMCU found that Vinara LLC’s actions constituted a violation under Article 15¹ of the Law of Ukraine “On Protection Against Unfair Competition” and imposed a fine of 993,937 UAH on the company.

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has fined iPay (UPR LLC), an online platform for money transfers and online payments, 16.51 million UAH for violating the laws governing the payment market, the regulator announced.
It is noted that the violations, identified as a result of off-site supervision, concerned, in particular, inadequate control over the quality and sufficiency of information accompanying payment transactions.
The company must pay the fine within five business days from the date it is notified of the decision by the NBU’s Committee on Supervision and Regulation of Banking Activities and Oversight of the Payment Infrastructure.
In addition, the regulator issued a written warning to iPay for violating requirements regarding the management and authorization system for financial payment service providers.
The company must rectify the identified violations and take measures to prevent their recurrence within no more than 30 calendar days from the date of receiving the decision.
The committee adopted the relevant decisions on September 2.
As previously reported, in September 2025, the NBU had already fined iPay 16.6 million UAH for violations in the area of financial monitoring, specifically deficiencies in risk assessment, internal controls, handling of customer data, and reporting. At the same time, the company received a written warning for errors in reporting and record-keeping.
The National Bank of Ukraine fined FC “Finstyle” LLC 182,810 UAH and issued the company a written warning due to violations and shortcomings in its reporting.
According to the regulator, the company violated the requirements for the preparation and submission of financial statements. The NBU also identified a lack of necessary automation in record-keeping and deficiencies in the system for verifying the completeness and accuracy of reported data.
“Finstyle” must pay the fine within one month from the date the decision takes effect and must remedy the violations and deficiencies listed in the NBU’s written warning by September 8, 2026.
The decision to impose these measures was adopted by the Committee on Supervision and Regulation of Non-Bank Financial Services Markets on August 17.
The National Bank of Ukraine took enforcement measures against FC “Atlana” LLC, imposing a fine of 198,880 UAH on the financial company and issuing it a written warning.
As the NBU reported on August 20, the regulator identified violations of legislation governing the provision of financial services, as well as shortcomings related to the timely and complete submission of information, explanations, and documents to the National Bank.
The company must pay the fine within one month after the decision takes effect. Atlana must rectify the identified violations and deficiencies by September 8, 2026.
The decision was adopted by the NBU’s Committee on Supervision and Regulation of Non-Bank Financial Services Markets on August 17, 2026.
This is not the first enforcement action taken by the NBU against the company. In November 2025, the regulator fined FC “Atlana” 595,000 UAH for a series of violations of anti-money laundering legislation, specifically for deficiencies in risk assessment and customer due diligence.
In 2025, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine resumed imposing administrative fines for violations related to the submission of statistical reports, after no such resolutions were issued in 2023 or 2024.
According to Opendatabot, in 2025, the State Statistics Service issued 30 rulings totaling 5,100 UAH. By comparison, there were 21 such rulings in 2022, and none in 2023–2024.
The refund of fines is linked to the reinstatement of mandatory statistical and financial reporting. The State Statistics Service officially announced that, as of July 5, 2025, reporting once again became mandatory for enterprises, institutions, organizations, and entrepreneurs included in state statistical surveys.
Companies that took advantage of wartime exemptions and failed to submit the required information in 2022–2025 were required to file their backlog of reports within three months—by October 5, 2025. At the same time, the regular deadlines for submitting current reports were reinstated.
However, the practice of imposing fines in 2025 proved to be extremely uneven. All 30 resolutions were issued in just five regions: respondents in Vinnytsia, Zakarpattia, and Ivano-Frankivsk Oblasts received eight each; those in Mykolaiv Oblast received five; and one was issued in Luhansk Oblast.
Administrative liability applies for failure to provide statistical data, missing deadlines, or submitting inaccurate or incomplete information. According to Opendatabot, the fine for officials and sole proprietors ranges from 170 to 255 UAH, and may be higher in the event of a repeat violation.
In 2026, the reporting obligation remains in effect. The State Statistics Service has published a separate reporting calendar for 2026 and allows companies to review the required forms via the “My Reporting” service.
