Who is Viktor Dubovyk, who is mentioned in NABU’s “Forrest Gump” case?
During the hearing on preventative measures for former MP Maksym Mykytas, the SAP prosecutor named another employee of the Office of the President who was involved in the scheme.
This is the head of the Directorate for Legal Policy, Viktor Dubovyk (in the photo).
According to the prosecutor, he provided advice, instructions, and adjusted the plans of members of the criminal organization.
Also, since he is a former head of the Office for Combating Raiding, he had the relevant necessary expertise.
Recall that Dubovyk in 2013-2014 years was an adviser to the first vice prime minister in Yanukovych’s government.
And his father was the first deputy minister of internal affairs under Yanukovych, Zakharchenko.
Dubovyk is also known for being the only candidate this year for the head of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), but he was not supported by the commission that included internationals.
He alone managed to reach the final of the competition, but the internationals did not vote for him. So even with minimal competition, he did not become head of ARMA.
Earlier, in June 2025, Dubovyk participated in the competition for head of the State Bureau of Economic Security (SBE). He also failed to pass the interview stage, as not a single international supported his candidacy.
And this is a telling example of why competitions with decisive votes by internationals are an effective mechanism for cleaning up and rebooting Ukrainian institutions.
And it is precisely because of this that Zelensky and his Office are trying to “break” or entirely prevent such procedures. That is why yesterday Zelensky’s MPs buried the reform of the State Bureau of Investigation and the Office of the Prosecutor General with independent competitions.
Because only in a competition controlled by the Bankova [the Presidential Office] will people like Dubovyk, Kravchenko, or Sukhachov be able to win and lead law enforcement agencies.
