Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Kravchenko Resigns Over Corruption Accusations

Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko resigned on Monday, citing a "political decision" following anti-corruption investigations by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO). Kravchenko accused security personnel of initially preventing NABU detectives from searching his office and other premises.

The investigations are part of Operation Carthage, aimed at a criminal organization within the Prosecutor General’s Office. Kravchenko denied involvement and the resignation does not officially end his tenure, as it depends on a parliamentary resolution.
