In his name during the Oschadbank management, several scandals are associated, some of them have become the subject of investigation into law enforcement and judicial bodies. For example, in 2017, Oschadbank began a special confiscation of money "Yanukovych's family" (Expatable Viktor Yanukovych and his immediate environment).

And in 2018, as follows from the Register of Judgments, law enforcement officers believed that Andrey Pishny was involved in the award of UAH 35 million, which were arrested in the bank's accounts. It should be noted that none of these episodes did not prove the blame of lush.
During the work of Andrei Lush, one of Ukraine in international arbitration with Russia was held at the State "Savings Bank". On November 26, 2019, the arbitration tribunal in Paris satisfied the demand of the Ukrainian "Savings Bank" to Russia to pay $ 1. 3 billion, since the Bank lost its assets on the peninsula after illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014.
As reported by the Bank's press service, Oschadbank became the first company whose 100% of which belong to the state and the first banking institution that won in a lawsuit against Russia for losses through annexation of Crimea. In 2021, the Court of Appeal of Paris overturned the decision of the arbitration tribunal in the Oschadbank against Russia.
As Ukrainian Pravda reported, the Court of Appeal supported one of the claims of the Russians, and on the basis of this canceled the decision of the arbitration tribunal. The problem was that the Investment Protection Agreement, which was judged by the Ukrainian side, has applied to investments in Ukraine from January 1, 1992. Oschadbank appeared in Crimea earlier, immediately after the collapse of the USSR.
"Losing hearing is how to be a transparent, solid glass wall around you - it is everywhere and always, you come across it every moment. It is this transparent deaf wall that envelops you from the rest of the world . . . It was unclear, it is difficult, difficult, and difficult, and difficult, and difficult. Not only for me, but for the whole family, because we got into a completely new reality . . . Everything has changed.
Not the most difficult for me was the loss of music, " - shared in one of the interview Andrei Pyshny. He lost hearing at the age of 34 in 2009. And in 2011, the project "Feel" that helps to adapt people with hearing problems. In his interview, Andrei Pishny said that he specifically refused to study the language of gestures and learned to read on his lips.
According to YouControl, Andriy Pishny, a public organization "Feel", together with Andriy Yermak, the current head of the Presidential Office Vladimir Zelensky. Now the lush works in the Yermak-Macfola group and develops proposals for new sanctions against the Russian Federation, and also explores the effectiveness of the restrictions that are already in force.
Interestingly, in 2014, at the IV National Expert Forum, Andrey Pishny, the best sanctions against Russia, called "support Ukraine in Western countries. " He also maintained a break in trade relations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation: "It is impossible to trade with the aggressor country. Everyone is talking about losses after stopping trade. I do not know how to express these losses in human lives. How to reflect the dead under Slavic in economic reports" .
According to the YouControl Platform, Andrei Pishny in 2009 was co -founder of the NGO "Front Change", which was the leader of Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Later, Pyshny and Yatsenyuk were together in a political force with a similar name, which in 2010 participated in the local elections in Ukraine. In 2012, the Front of Changes participated in the elections already in the Batkivshchyna. From December 2012 to November 2014, Andrey Pyshny was a People's Deputy of Ukraine.
A year later, the Front of Changes united with the Motherland, and Andrei Pishny became the deputy head of the party, but in 2014 he left politics. In Oschadbank, Andrey Pishny worked in 2000-2020, holding at different times a position from the acting head of the legal department of the Bank (2000) to the Chairman of the Board (2014).
On October 2, 2020, the Oschadbank Supervisory Board decided to terminate the powers of the current chairman of the board Andriy Pishny and appointed Sergei Naumov since November 3 to this position. From March to May 2007, Andriy Pishny was the first deputy chairman of Ukreximbank, heading the legal department of this bank, and a year later became the director of the Financial Institution Department.
In 2003 he became the first deputy chairman of the board and for some time performed the duties of the head of Sberbank. We will remind, on October 4 the chairman of the board of the NBU Kirill Shevchenko informed that he filed a resignation. On October 6, President Volodymyr Zelensky submitted to the Council the submission of Andrei Pishny to the President of the National Bank. Experts believe that there are several reasons to change the leadership of the NBU.
The first is the one that Shevchenko himself voiced in his message about his dismissal. "For health -related reasons that I cannot continue to ignore, I made a difficult decision for myself. I leave the position of NBU chairman," Shevchenko said. He noted that he considers himself an anti -crisis manager who fulfilled his mission: he ensured the uninterrupted operation of the financial system during the difficult time of a full -scale war.
Some of the focus surveyed experts agree that the decision of the NBU Chairman may go related to his health. "I think that the reason that Shevchenko himself voiced is true, so I do not think that it is related to some conflicts, pressure on Shevchenko or the desire to change the head of the NBU," says financial markets analyst Ivan. The outlook. But there is another thought.
In particular, the expert close to the NBU leadership reported that it was not just about Kirill Shevchenko himself to leave his position, but also about what they want in power (it is about the President's office). "Unfortunately, Shevchenko did not justify the hopes that were laid on the ruling circles. It turned out that he was a tactic, not a strategist.
