He urged MPs to support resignation as quickly as possible.
President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to the statements of Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko about signing a suspicion against the director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and accusing NABU and SAP of allegedly stealing materials from the Office of the Attorney General related to their colleagues. The head of the country believes that “this Attorney General has only one path: to be dismissed from the post.”
Zelensky noted that he had already spoken to him about this. And asked the MPs to support the dismissal urgently.
“If he considers this political pressure, let him call it that. I ask the parliamentarians to support this dismissal urgently,” he said.
Update. The head of the Servant of the People faction, Davyd Arakhamia, reported that the consideration of the attorney general’s resignation would take place 15 September.
Kravchenko himself left the country tonight.
This morning Kravchenko published a seven-minute video address in which he accused NABU and SAP of gaining access to materials related to employees of these bodies. According to him, they allegedly obtained these materials during searches in the OGP buildings in the Karfagen case, which concerns uncovering a criminal organization in the Office of the Attorney General that protected illegal call centers and laundered funds obtained for it.
The main suspect in the case is the head of one of the departments, Serhiy Kropyva. Kravchenko spoke with him several times, according to the investigation materials.
After NABU published the disclosure, Kravchenko told journalists that he did not intend to resign. However, that same evening he had a meeting with the president, after which he submitted a resignation letter. It must be voted on by the Verkhovna Rada.
