Some Russians flee country, citing Ukraine war draft fears and loss of freedoms

Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko resigned after accusing the country's top anti-corruption official, Semen Kryvonos, of criminal wrongdoing. Kravchenko left Ukraine on September 8 following searches of the Prosecutor General's Office. He claimed that anti-corruption agencies unlawfully seized materials from cases involving their own employees.

Kryvonos denied receiving a notice naming him as a suspect. President Zelensky approved Kravchenko's dismissal, stating it was the only option. Ukraine's parliament is set to vote on the dismissal on September 15.
