How long does bankruptcy take in Ukraine?

Can a foreigner or foreign-owned company file for bankruptcy in Lviv, Ukraine?
Yes: foreign nationals residing in Ukraine and companies registered in the Unified State Register (USR), including foreign-owned LLCs, can be declared bankrupt under the Code of Ukraine on Bankruptcy Procedures, with the case filed at the commercial court of the debtor's registered address.

Individual (consumer) bankruptcy, governed by Book IV of the Code of Ukraine on Bankruptcy Procedures, restructures or writes off a private person's debts through the commercial court, while company bankruptcy liquidates the legal entity's assets to satisfy creditors and removes it from the USR. Both procedures require a court-appointed arbitration manager.
