During a meeting at the Presidential Office on 7 September, Servant of the People faction leader David Arakhamia, in the presence of Volodymyr Zelensky, threatened the heads of the anti-corruption agencies. The politician warned Semen Kryvonos and Oleksandr Klymenko of charges from Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko.
According to sources, the MP was attempting in this way to save the head of the Prosecutor General's Office after high-profile searches at the agency. Details are reported by Ukrayinska Pravda.
Threats of charges and fleeing abroad
During the meeting, David Arakhamia allegedly told the heads of NABU and the SAP that Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko had already prepared or planned to sign charges against them and could "trigger the suicide belt."
However, a week of calm did not change the president's decision to dismiss the prosecutor general, and Kravchenko later refused state protection and crossed the border via the Shehyni checkpoint.
The leaders of the anti-corruption agencies themselves interpreted these actions as a continuation of systemic pressure. Semen Kryvonos and Oleksandr Klymenko also reported that NABU detectives have been under surveillance, in which the Security Service of Ukraine is allegedly involved.
By the way, Ukrayinska Pravda journalist Mykhailo Tkach asked at a briefing of the anti-corruption agency leaders whether Volodymyr Zelensky or the leader of the parliamentary ruling majority, David Arakhamia, could be behind the attack on NABU.
Semen Kryvonos then answered that the president immediately stated his position on the situation — he emphasized the importance of the immediate dismissal of Prosecutor General Kravchenko and suspended him from office. "I will not comment on other details," Kryvonos said.
Recall that we previously wrote that the Verkhovna Rada will soon vote on the dismissal of Prosecutor General Kravchenko.
