Zelensky calls on Rada to immediately support Kravchenko's dismissal as Prosecutor General

On September 4, the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine announced the discovery of a criminal organization allegedly involved in bribery from fraudulent call centers. The group, established mid-2025, recruited active prosecutors and associates to impose extortion fees for the operation of shadow call centers defrauding Ukrainians and foreign citizens.

On September 6, a preventative measure was imposed on Serhii Kropyva, deputy head of the Department of International Cooperation, for allegedly hiding the illegal activities of these call centers. Kravchenko, the Prosecutor General, denied any involvement in the cover-up, stating he had suspended a guilty employee and ordered an audit of the Department of International Cooperation and the Cybercrime Division.

On September 7, Kravchenko submitted his resignation as Prosecutor General, asserting he would support Kravchenko's dismissal immediately, as President Zelensky called for the following day.
