Story summary
On September 15, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fired Ruslan Kravchenko, who served as Ukraine’s prosecutor-general. The firing came after accusations that Kravchenko was involved in accepting bribes. Kravchenko denied these allegations and stated on messaging platform Telegram that he would inform international partners about the situation within anti-corruption authorities, citing risks to state sovereignty due to an uncontrolled concentration of influence.
NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau) investigators had previously raided Kravchenko’s offices in September, uncovering a network involved in making payments for protection from fraudulent call centers. These call centers are reportedly employed by 60,000 people and can generate up to US$1 billion monthly. Zelensky called on lawmakers to approve the dismissal of Kravchenko, emphasizing that there was only one option left for the prosecutor-general: dismissal.
