The journalist notes that the faction leader fears he himself may soon receive a suspicion from NABU.
The head of the Servant of the People parliamentary majority faction, Davyd Arahamia, during a meeting with the heads of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office 7 September, after searches at the Prosecutor General’s Office and the detention of Deputy Head of the Department of International-Legal Cooperation of the PGO Serhiy Kropyva, threatened Semen Kryvonos and Oleksandr Klymenko with the possibility of criminal prosecution. This is reported by Ukrainska Pravda journalist Mykhailo Tkach, citing sources.
The journalist notes that during that meeting in the president’s office Arahamia “desperately tried to save ‘his’ prosecutor general.” And although President Volodymyr Zelensky afterwards decided to dismiss Kravchenko, the corresponding submission to parliament was not sent within a week. As the outlet writes, it was Arahamia who reassured the public in the corridors that there was no need to rush. Likewise, according to Tkach, he also tried to persuade Zelensky.
At the same time, during the evening meeting 7 September he, in the presence of the president, told the heads of NABU and the SAP that Kravchenko had either already signed or planned to sign suspicions against Klymenko and Kryvonos and that he “might pull the shahid’s cord.”
The journalist’s interlocutors in government circles say that Kravchenko used this week of lull to prepare his “suspicions” for NABU and the SAP—steps that those in power did not dare even in 2025 year, when the authorities tried to eliminate the institutional independence of the anti-corruption bodies.
According to Ukrainska Pravda’s sources, Davyd Arahamia fears he could become one of those who will next receive a suspicion from NABU and the SAP in the case about paying deputies “salaries in envelopes.”
At the same time, after Kravchenko’s public announcement of suspicions against Kryvonos, both Volodymyr Zelensky and Davyd Arahamia publicly distanced themselves from the now-former prosecutor general.
The outlet notes that Ruslan Kravchenko, even before leaving the country on an alleged business trip, apparently understood he might be leaving the country permanently — at one in the morning he refused state protection, and two hours later he crossed the border via the Shehyni checkpoint.
It should be noted that immediately after Kravchenko’s announcement of suspicions against Kryvonos, NABU and the SAP officially stated that they regard these actions as a continuation of a systematic attack on anti-corruption bodies and as a continuation of a pressure campaign that began in July 2025 year.
Later, at a press conference, Semen Kryvonos and Oleksandr Klymenko reported that the Security Service of Ukraine is involved in monitoring NABU detectives. They also said that attempts to obtain information about NABU’s and the SAP’s investigative actions are being recorded in the court decisions register.
