Following Attorney General’s intervention: Memorial event for Rabbi Ovadia Yosef canceled
The major event planned in memory of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef has been canceled following the Attorney General’s directive regarding the election period.
Outgoing Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko has requested permission to depart Ukraine for a September 16 European conference in Paris concerning Ukrainian children. However, organizers have informed the Kyiv Independent that Kravchenko will not attend the event in any role. Kravchenko, once a loyal supporter of President Volodymyr Zelensky, resigned on September 7 following revelations of a protection racket in the Prosecutor General's Office, among other scandalous allegations.
A signed document granting Kravchenko's travel authorization to attend the Paris conference, organized by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), exists. Yet, Kravchenko's name does not appear on the event's list of speakers, and the PACE spokesperson confirmed that he will not be present at the meeting, whether as a speaker or participant.
The spokesperson declared, "100%, he will not appear." The reason for Kravchenko's absence remains unclear, but speculation arises about his intended destination.
