Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called on lawmakers to support the removal of Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko as tensions continue between the prosecutor’s office and the country’s anti-corruption institutions.
Parliament is expected to consider the change as Ukraine faces close scrutiny from international partners over the independence and effectiveness of its anti-graft system. Kravchenko resigned after a corruption investigation reached his office, although he has not been charged or named as a suspect. The dispute carries added weight because progress on governance reforms is tied to Ukraine’s European Union ambitions and international financial support.
