Ukrainian courts have fully upheld six out of eight lawsuits filed by corporate accountants challenging fines imposed by Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TRSSCs) for violations of military registration rules, according to a study by OpenDataBot published on October 16, 2026.
According to analysts who used the “Babusia” court registry search engine, at least eight relevant court decisions were identified between 2024 and 2026. In six cases—or 75%—the courts ruled entirely in favor of the accountants. Another lawsuit was partially granted, while in one case the court refused to overturn the fine.
Thus, the plaintiffs’ claims were fully or partially granted in seven of the eight cases reviewed, accounting for 87.5% of the identified rulings.
In seven cases, the Tax Control Chambers imposed fines of 34,000 UAH on the accountants; in one other case, the administrative penalty amounted to 59,500 UAH. The total amount of the contested fines in the eight cases reached 297,500 UAH.
The first two court decisions are dated 2024. Three similar cases were identified in 2025, and three more decisions were issued in 2026.
The geographic scope of the legal disputes covers seven regions of Ukraine. The highest number of cases was recorded in the Khmelnytskyi region—two. Courts in the Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kharkiv, and Kyiv regions each issued one ruling.
According to the analysis, the main reasons for overturning the fines were an insufficient evidentiary basis on the part of the Tax and Customs Service, a lack of specificity regarding the violations, and an improper identification of the responsible officials.
In particular, the rulings on administrative offenses did not always specify exactly what actions or omissions the accountant committed, when the violation occurred, or which specific duties were not fulfilled.
Analysts also point to cases where responsibility for organizational matters related to military registration was placed on the accountant, even though such authority belongs to the company’s management.
At the same time, the obligation to maintain military registration records does not automatically fall on an accounting department employee. Typically, these functions are performed by human resources staff or specifically designated company employees.
The eight court decisions identified do not cover all cases in which accountants were held administratively liable and do not allow for determining the overall proportion of fines imposed by the Tax and Customs Service of Ukraine that were subsequently overturned.

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 Temporary Administrative Board of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) fined DE TRADING LLC 50 million UAH for anti-competitive concerted practices that distorted the results of five electricity supply auctions.
According to a statement by the AMCU following its September 8 meeting, violations were found in the actions of “DE TRADING” and “Torgovaya Elektricheskaya Kompaniya” LLC. The total estimated value of the procurements covered by the committee’s decision exceeded 1.5 billion UAH.
For violating the legislation on the protection of economic competition, “DE TRADING” was fined 50 million hryvnias. The second party involved in the case—“Torgovaya Elektricheskaya Kompaniya”—was fined 60 million hryvnias. The total amount of sanctions amounted to 110 million hryvnias.
The primary business activity of “DE TRADING” LLC is electricity trading.
According to YouControl, 100% of the company’s authorized capital is owned by PJSC “Energoinvest Holding.” Its ultimate beneficial owners are listed as Andriy Zinatullin, with a 46% stake, and Alina Pylypenko, with a 40.52% stake.
Zinatullin is also one of the co-owners of “Torgovaya Elektricheskaya Kompaniya” LLC, holding a 24.9% stake in its authorized capital.
