Kravchenko to participate in PACE hearings on Ukrainian children in France – PGO

Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko embarked on a five-day business journey to France on September 13, according to Suspilne's report. He intended to attend a Parliamentary Network session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in Paris, but PACE later clarified that neither Kravchenko nor his representatives would be attending the session.

The Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) confirmed the trip, stating that the main objective was to participate in the PACE Parliamentary Network hearing. PACE's press service, however, confirmed that Kravchenko and his team would not be participating in the meeting, specifically regarding the "Situation of Children in Ukraine." Kravchenko's resignation from his post, amid a NABU investigation under Operation Carthage, is currently under consideration by the Verkhovna Rada.

He denies any involvement in fund laundering or possessing undeclared assets, dismissing the Anti-Corruption Bureau's allegations as baseless. Kravchenko and his wife reportedly left Ukraine on September 12 via Moldova, with the latter signing a notice of suspicion against NABU Director Semen Kryvonos on September 14. President Zelenskyy submitted a motion to the Verkhovna Rada to dismiss Kravchenko from his position.
