From December 2014 to October 2015, he was temporarily out of work. On 25 February 2015, Kyrychuk plans to file a lawsuit demanding his reinstatement as director of the company. On 1 March 2015, employees of Lutskteplo gathered near the Lutsk City District Court, to hear Kyrychuk's case of reinstatement to protest against his reinstatement.

The plaintiff's lawyer, Viktor Pylypchuk, tried to prove that the dismissal was illegal and that the mayor had acted illegally. Pylypchuk motivated his statement by the fact that the employees of the enterprise physically resisted Kyrychuk and did not let him into the enterprise. Hours later, Kyrychuk dropped the lawsuit.
