Ukrainian prosecutor general resigns after corruption accusations

SAPO Notícias8 September 2026 at 07:05

Ukraine's Prosecutor General, Ruslan Kravchenko, submitted his resignation to President Volodymyr Zelensky, days after his office was searched as part of a corruption investigation.

The searches were carried out by Ukrainian authorities investigating alleged acts of corruption involving the prosecutor general's office. The operation was part of Ukraine's ongoing efforts to combat corruption within the judiciary and state institutions.

Kravchenko assures that all accusations against him are "completely unfounded" and that his decision to resign should not be interpreted as an admission of guilt. The prosecutor wanted to avoid the situation potentially undermining the work of judicial institutions during the investigation.
