Volodymyr Zelensky dismisses attorney general under martial law amid corruption suspicions

SIC Notícias14 September 2026 at 23:07

The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, dismissed Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko under martial law. The resignation occurred after Kravchenko submitted his resignation, triggered by corruption suspicions involving one of his subordinates.

The removal of the attorney general comes within the framework of an investigation conducted by the Ukrainian anti-corruption agency. Authorities are investigating an alleged bribery and money laundering scheme associated with clandestine 'call centers'.

This is not the first time Zelensky has taken drastic measures against figures in the Ukrainian judicial system during the period of conflict with Russia. The President has been actively fighting corruption in the country, demonstrating a public commitment to transparency and strengthening institutions.

Why this matters

This decision directly affects the Ukrainian judicial system during martial law, signaling an effort by the Zelensky government to demonstrate zero tolerance for corruption even during the armed conflict. The investigation into the clandestine 'call centers' suggests that corruption schemes continue to operate in the country, which may have implications for public trust in institutions during the war.
