Zelenskyy asks lawmakers to support removal of prosecutor general
Zelenskiy said the prosecutor general should go immediately as anti-corruption agencies clash over a probe that has already prompted his resignation.
- On Monday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on Ukrainian lawmakers to support the removal of Ukraine's prosecutor general without delay, stating on Telegram: 'There is only one path for this Prosecutor General: removal from office.'
- Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko resigned his post last week after a corruption investigation reached his office, though he faced no formal charges or suspect designation.
- On Monday, Kravchenko alleged NABU head Semen Kryvonos forged documents to obtain 'an unlawful benefit on an exceptionally large scale,' while NABU and SAPO rejected his accusations as a 'systematic attack on independent anti-corruption bodies.'
- Parliament is expected to hold a vote on Tuesday on Kravchenko's removal under Ukrainian law, as the conflict threatens Ukraine's ability to meet international anti-corruption reform obligations required for vital funding.
- The power struggle arrives as Ukraine must demonstrate institutional reform to secure international financial support while corruption scandals erode Zelenskiy's public approval during the country's fight against Russia.
