Border Guard Service dismisses report ex-prosecutor general left country 'following call from Kyiv' as fake
During former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko's departure on the night of September 14, 2026, only an order to notify authorities was issued, not a ban on crossing the border, Spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Andriy Demchenko told Interfax-Ukraine.
The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has dismissed a report claiming that former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko left the country under pressure from Kyiv. According to Andriy Demchenko, spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service, Kravchenko's departure on September 14, 2026, was not due to any orders from Kyiv. Instead, it was a result of Kravchenko crossing the border during an official business trip.
The border guard explained that a notification was issued to inform relevant state agencies of his departure, but this does not prohibit him from leaving the country. No objections from the initiator of the order were received, and no other restrictions were imposed on Kravchenko's exit from Ukraine.
