❗️In the media field, they have begun actively linking First Deputy Prosecutor Oleksiy Khomenko with Deputy Head of the Office of the President Oleg Tatarov. But this only partially corresponds to reality.
Both Oleksiy Khomenko and Ruslan Kravchenko are members of the same team. They served together in the military prosecutor’s office under Anatoliy Matios, and later held leadership positions in the Kyiv region: Khomenko was head of the Kyiv regional prosecutor’s office, and Kravchenko led the Bucha district prosecutor’s office of Kyiv region. With the support of Khomenko, who by that time had become a deputy prosecutor general, and Vitaliy Yarema (who, as prosecutor general, appointed Matios as chief military prosecutor), Kravchenko became head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration.
Kravchenko’s appointment as prosecutor general was a compromise decision. The then head of the Office of the President, Andriy Yermak, was promoting Oleg Kiper for the position, but other players opposed him, including Oleg Tatarov, who promoted different candidates. Among his proteges were named State Bureau of Investigations head Oleksiy Sukhachov and then-deputy defense minister Serhiy Melnyk.
At that time Khomenko did not want to take the position, so Kravchenko became head of it and ran into conflict with Tatarov. As for the more experienced and restrained Khomenko, he managed to maintain even relations with all the main players. In view of this, he began to be considered in the Office of the President as a new compromise figure.
The systematic team work of the military prosecutors is also evidenced by the fact that when Kravchenko became prosecutor general, he took on another deputy who had worked in tandem with him and Khomenko – Maksym Krym, who headed the Kyiv regional prosecutor’s office after Khomenko.
