The Verkhovna Rada has voted to appoint former head of state bank Oschadbank Andrii Pyshnyi as the new head of Ukraine's National Bank, according to lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak.

After his resignation, on Oct. 6, Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau accused Shevchenko of embezzling Hr 206 million from state bank Ukrgasbank in 2014-2019
