Within the Servant of the People faction and among deputies of the pro-government majority, there were efforts until the last moment to defend Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Kravchenko amid the scandal surrounding the “Carthage” case. In particular, 7 September, discussion in parliament about scheduling a meeting of the law enforcement committee and a possible decision regarding the prosecutor general proceeded with difficulty.
First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Law Enforcement Activities Andriy Osadchuk noted that 7 September a meeting of the law enforcement committee was scheduled for 14:00 8 September, which was supposed to be an opportunity to discuss the situation with Kravchenko.
According to Osadchuk, he viewed that meeting as an opportunity to persuade Kravchenko to resign immediately, since the issue concerned not only his personal reputation but also the reputation of the prosecutorial system, law enforcement agencies, and the state.
