Zelenskyy still has no candidate to replace Kravchenko as prosecutor general
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy still has no candidate to replace Ruslan Kravchenko, whom the Verkhovna Rada could dismiss as prosecutor general as early as next week, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing its sources.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains without a candidate to replace Ruslan Kravchenko as prosecutor general, who could be dismissed by the Verkhovna Rada as early as next week, according to RBC-Ukraine. The president traveled to Norway and Canada after addressing the NABU and SAP Carthage cases. The issue has been delayed until Zelenskyy's return.
Lawmakers expressed confusion over Kravchenko's potential resignation, fearing the next Prosecutor General may not scrutinize all suspicion notices from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. An idea emerged among lawmakers that the new prosecutor general should be an MP, but it is unclear if any would accept the role.
No one forced lawmakers to abolish immunity, but they did so unanimously, introducing a safeguard where suspicion notices against lawmakers are signed by the prosecutor general. The SAP detained Serhii Kropyva in the Carthage special operation, which NABU and SAP later implicated in protecting fraudulent call centers and laundering assets.
Kropyva was taken into custody, with bail set at 120 million hryvnias. The Prosecutor General's Office searched premises linked to Kravchenko, his deputy, and Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper.
