Businessman Timur Mindich, who is involved in a high-profile corruption case regarding the embezzlement of funds at Energoatom, has filed a lawsuit against the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in the Cassation Administrative Court. In his lawsuit, Mindich demands to recognize as illegal and annul presidential decree No. 843/2025 dated November 13, 2025, under which personal sanctions were imposed against him.

“In his statement to the court, Timur Mindich requests to recognize as unlawful and annul decree No. 843/2025 dated November 13, 2025. This decree was the basis for the application of personal restrictions.”
The mentioned decree was adopted within the framework of the state sanctions policy and provided for the introduction of personal restrictions against a number of individuals, including Mindich. This decision became part of large-scale measures aimed at combating corruption in the energy sector and public procurement, which gained particular attention against the backdrop of high-profile investigations.
The essence of the criminal case and the progress of the investigation
The criminal proceedings in which Mindich is involved relate to suspicions of large-scale abuses in the energy sector. According to the investigation, it concerns possible corruption schemes, influence on financial flows, and settlements with counterparties. Several individuals are involved in this case: some are in custody, some are under sanctions, while others have been given preventive measures in the form of bail.
Mindich’s extradition and the international aspect
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau has already submitted materials for the extradition of Timur Mindich, who is currently in Israel, to the Office of the Prosecutor General. However, Israel is considered one of the most challenging countries for obtaining extradition approval, which significantly complicates the process of returning the individual to Ukraine for further investigation.
