On December 18, 2016, the government of Ukraine, referring to the proposal of the NBU and the former shareholders of PrivatBank, the largest of which at that time were Kolomoisky and Hennadiy Boholiubov, decided to nationalize this largest financial institution on the Ukrainian market and injected over UAH 155 billion into its capital. The ex-owners of the bank consider the nationalization carried out, as a result of which they have completely lost their shares, illegal, while PrivatBank and the state demand additional compensation from them.
