Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Submits Resignation Citing Political Conflict
Kravchenko said the move was political as anti-corruption investigators probe a network accused of shielding scam call centers and laundering millions.
- Ruslan Kravchenko, Ukraine's chief prosecutor, resigned on Sunday over corruption allegations involving illegal call centers, dismissing the claims as "completely unsubstantiated."
- Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office identified a money-laundering network in Kravchenko's office that allegedly received funds to protect call centers that "laundered millions in assets."
- Corruption scandals have plagued Kyiv throughout the war against Russia, though former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov told the BBC he has no evidence President Volodymyr Zelensky is personally involved in corruption.
- European partners expressed alarm at the resignation, with the European Union warning the situation could endanger Ukraine's integration as an EU candidate country required to maintain credible anti-corruption efforts.
- Despite creating Nabu and Sap over a decade ago, corruption remains endemic; in 2025, nationwide protests erupted after Zelensky attempted to curb the independence of both anti-corruption bodies.
