• In the fall of 2019, there was a scandal in the Rada — MP of European Solidarity Nina Yuzhanina and former MP Borislav Bereza accused Roksolana Pidlas of a conflict of interest.

Being a leader of the interfactional association "ZA FOP", Pildas was a co-author of the law on cash registers. The fund where Pidlas had worked before receiving the mandate founded two companies: one was engaged in software development for cash registers, the other one was associated with the head of the State Tax Service at that time.

Pidlas assures that there is no conflict of interest. She is allegedly not familiar with Verlanov, and there are dozens of people working in the ministries who receive salaries through the Foundation for Support of Reforms in Ukraine.

'They pay from a multi-donor account that receives funds from the EBRD, the European Union and certain EU countries,' Radio Liberty quotes Roksolana Pildas.

This is not the first time Sayenko Kharenko was involved in a conflict of interest. For instance, Farmak has been suing other pharmaceutical manufacturers for Corvalol trademark for many years.

• Several years ago, Farmak demanded from the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade to grant their medicine the status "well-known" and then filed a lawsuit to cancel the registration of its competitors.

The ministry quickly met their demands, perhaps because the position of Deputy Minister of Economy was taken by Nataliya Mykolska who used to work at Sayenko Kharenko before taking this position. And it was Sayenko Kharenko that represented the interests of Farmak in the Corvalol case.

'This raises questions about the obvious signs of a conflict of interest,' the media wrote in 2017.
