  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed reporters that no new candidate had yet been selected for the position of prosecutor general, following Ruslan Kravchenko's departure. Consequently, an acting official has been handling the responsibilities of the Prosecutor General's Office since November 13th. The appointment of an acting prosecutor general occurs only after a candidate is found, as the Verkhovna Rada is the body responsible for approving such appointments. Currently, Kravchenko's acting successor has only recently assumed his duties. President Zelenskyy stated that he lacks the time to follow the activities of former prosecutor general Ruslan Kravchenko, remarking that he \"doesn't have time to read fiction\" and emphasizing that Kravchenko is no longer in his former role.",
  "summary": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that no candidate had been identified for prosecutor general following Ruslan Kravchenko's flight, leaving an acting official in charge of the Prosecutor General's Office on Nov. 13.",
