A year ago Ukraine tried to leash its anti-corruption agencies. This week they forced out the prosecutor general
The agencies Zelenskyy moved to control in 2025 have now reached the prosecutor general himself—the third powerful figure they've brought down. What looks like a government in crisis is a state where impunity at the top is ending.
According to prosecutors, a criminal organization operating within Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office was uncovered by anti-corruption investigators. The group allegedly took bribes from fraudulent call centers and laundered money through various means. The investigation revealed that the organization was run by a department head inside the Prosecutor General's Office, reportedly identified as Serhii Kropyva, deputy head of the office's International Legal Cooperation Department.
Kropyva was arrested on September 6 with a bail set at 120 million hryvnias. US prosecutors say the investigation was prompted by allegations that the Prosecutor General's Office was being used as an instrument of political confrontation.
