About 15 months of Ruslan Kravchenko’s time in office are remembered, in particular, for the attempt to subordinate NABU and SAP to the prosecutor general and for Operation “Carthage,” under which NABU and SAP charged Kravchenko’s former subordinate Serhii Kropyva. According to the investigation, the group he organized took bribes for “covering” call centers and laundered those funds.
This is described in an investigation by hromadske.
At the same time, during Ruslan Kravchenko’s tenure as prosecutor general, there were many personnel changes in the prosecutor’s office. Some officials were promoted, others held high positions for the first time.
hromadske tells the stories of those who advanced under Kravchenko, and also about the property that appeared in their families — both during this period and earlier.
A doctor from Rivne bought an apartment in a business-class residential complex
Ivan Tymoshenko is 41 years old. His career path strongly resembles Serhii Kropyva’s. Many years in cyberpolice. In 2022 — several months working in the Office of the Prosecutor General. Then — the Odesa Regional Military Administration under the leadership of Oleh Kiper.
In 2025 Tymoshenko returned from Odesa to the Office of the Prosecutor General — just like Kropyva. Both returned to the prosecutor’s office under Ruslan Kravchenko. According to the investigation, it was Kropyva who arranged Tymoshenko’s placement in the prosecutor’s office. In the position, according to the investigation, Tymoshenko, among other things, took care of Ruslan Kravchenko’s household matters.
“Vanya, order for me, all these tickets are with Diana. Find out when we fly to Madrid, and for the whole time in Madrid this room… Book some good room in this hotel. In this hotel and nearby within a 10-minute walking radius find some hotel. Well, where you can just get a regular room, some budget one,” — an SAP prosecutor read aloud at the court hearing a fragment of a conversation between Serhii Kropyva and Ivan Tymoshenko.
In his latest declaration, Tymoshenko indicates that he rents an apartment in the Aristokrat residential complex on Pechersk with an area of 64 m². The official is from Rivne and does not own housing in Kyiv. Neither does his wife, Tetiana Tymoshenko, who also lived in Rivne.
The woman worked at the Rivne Maternity Hospital. On the web you can find her photo and position — obstetrician-gynecologist.
Then in August of 2023 there was a sharp turn in the doctor’s career. Tetiana Tymoshenko opened a sole proprietorship (FOP) specializing in “restaurants and trade.” Four months later that year she declared 4,6 million hryvnias in income.
After that the amounts only grew. And a month ago the official’s wife opened another FOP, this one for renting out real estate. However, we found no public trace of any restaurant activity or trade.
Tetiana’s parents, i.e., the mother- and father-in-law of Office of the Prosecutor General official Ivan Tymoshenko, according to their social networks, live in Rivne.
The father-in-law is 61-year-old Anatolii Hutsenko, who once ran for the Rivne city council. In his candidate profile he listed himself as an anesthesiologist. There is no information in registries about any business activity by the man.
The official’s mother-in-law is 60-year-old Inna Hutsenko — also a doctor. In 2023 she filed a declaration as the head of a department at the Rivne Diagnostic Center. Then she declared 332 thousand hryvnias in salary for the year, that is almost 28 thousand hryvnias per month.
On 29 March 2023, the official’s mother-in-law managed to buy an apartment in Kyiv’s business-class Time residential complex. For 50 m² the woman officially paid just over 1,2 million hryvnias, that is over 34 thousand dollars. So one square meter in a Kyiv business-class complex cost the doctor from Rivne 683 dollars.
And here are prices from real listings in 2023. Over 2200 dollars per square meter for an apartment without renovations.
2900 dollars — per square meter for an apartment with renovations.
So in the real world the mother-in-law’s apartment could cost from 111 thousand dollars, whereas Inna Hutsenko bought it three times cheaper. And this is with a salary of almost 28 thousand hryvnias per month that same year.
Perhaps income from entrepreneurship helped? But the mother-in-law opened her own FOP more than two years after buying the apartment. The official’s daughter — Ivan Tymoshenko’s wife — did not yet have a FOP at the time the apartment was bought.
In response to questions about the source of funds for the apartment purchase, Ivan Tymoshenko’s mother-in-law said: “Listen, I am not your age to be telling you how many years I’ve worked and how I earned it. Understood?”.
Later the prosecutor’s office informed hromadske that Ivan Tymoshenko was dismissed on 11 September. He himself does not answer journalists’ calls.
A car fleet worth over 200 thousand dollars
Yurii Kulyk is 48 years old. He currently heads the Department of Organizational-Control Activities, Legal and Analytical Support of the Office of the Prosecutor General. Overall almost nothing is known about the official. But we did find some information.
In 2024 Kulyk received a salary at the Kyiv Regional Military Administration. A man with the same surname, name and patronymic is listed among advisors to the head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration in 2024. At the time the Kyiv RMA was headed by none other than Ruslan Kravchenko.
On 21 June 2025 Kravchenko became prosecutor general. And already on 14 July — less than a month later — Kulyk submitted a candidate declaration for the position of department head in the Office of the Prosecutor General. So it very much looks like Yurii Kulyk migrated from the Kyiv RMA to the Office of the Prosecutor General following Kravchenko. And parallel to this career trajectory, his relatives began buying expensive cars.
The first such car, a Toyota Camry of 2023 model year, was bought by the official’s mother Liubov Kulyk in 2024, when he was still working in the Kyiv RMA. The same car is listed in Yurii Kulyk’s declaration, and he began using it the same day his mother bought it. The declared cost is 1,5 million hryvnias, meaning the official’s mother paid over 40 thousand dollars for the car.
In April 2025 the official’s father Mykola Kulyk acquired a BMW X7 xDrive of the same model year. Now such a car can be purchased for 120 thousand dollars.
As Yurii Kulyk told us, his mother was able to buy the Toyota Camry from proceeds of selling cars his parents had used earlier. And his father bought the BMW with his own funds, including money received from the sale of a house in Khotianky.
“To the best of my knowledge, the source of funds for its purchase (the car — ed.) were my father’s personal funds, including funds received from the sale of property belonging to him. In particular, in August 2025 the father sold a privately owned residential house located in the village of Khotianky, Vyshhorod district, Kyiv region,” Yurii Kulyk told hromadske journalists.
However, the father sold the house in August 2025 — four months after purchasing the BMW.
Already this summer Yurii Kulyk’s mother bought another BMW X4 xDrive of 2022 model year. Such cars can now be bought for about 60 thousand dollars.
So a new car each year, and their approximate market value exceeds 200 thousand dollars. But where did the money come from?
The official’s father — 71-year-old Mykola Kulyk — has no business or FOP. The official’s mother — 71-year-old Liubov Kulyk — neither. From real estate the parents have an old family apartment on Obolon and a house in Lebedivka with an area of 23 m². So how two pensioners have such funds is unclear.
Yurii Kulyk himself as of 2024 had 28 thousand dollars and more than 30 thousand hryvnias in savings.
Liubov Kulyk hung up when journalists tried to ask how she managed to buy the cars. The official’s father Mykola Kulyk answered briefly: “I bought them — that’s it.”
Yurii Kulyk did not say what his mother did for a living, but noted that his father still works — as head of the Department of Security and Business Organization at Enerhomenedzhment LLC.
Cars at a discount
Ashot Ghevorkian is 34 years old. He has been in the prosecutor’s office since 2019. But it was in 2025 that he was promoted: from department head to head of the Department for Combating Organized Crime.
The official lives in the Novopecherskyi Quarter residential complex ¹ 5, as reported by the Anti-Corruption Center “Mezha.” Journalists noted that strengthening Ghevorkian’s position could be related to his friendly relations with Kravchenko.
The official’s wife — now 30-year-old Alina Ghevorkian — acquired an apartment in Novopecherskyi Quarter ¹ 5 in 2021. Nearly 62 square meters cost her 1,9 million hryvnias, or 70 thousand dollars. Although that same year apartments of the same size in this complex were selling for 120 thousand dollars.
The woman has a FOP, but she opened it only two years after buying the apartment. Before that Alina occasionally sold children’s items on marketplaces — we found no other business activity.
The year the apartment was bought, relatives of the official and his wife gave the couple money as gifts. The largest sum — 800 thousand hryvnias — was gifted by Ashot Ghevorkian’s father-in-law Vitalii Rudenko. Although he closed his FOP for trade from stalls and markets back in 2019 and has no other business.
According to Ashot Ghevorkian himself, these funds were saved over the course of a lifetime.
“Regarding the origin of funds received as gifts from relatives, I can state that they were saved by them over their lifetime,” the official told hromadske.
The prosecutor’s wife, Alina Ghevorkian, told journalists she felt uncomfortable answering the questions.
Last year Alina Ghevorkian became the owner of a Škoda Karoq of 2022 model year, which she allegedly bought for over 20 thousand dollars. However, the same car had earlier been sold for 34 thousand dollars.
There is a similar strange story with the prosecutor’s mother’s car. In 2023 the now 51-year-old mother of the official Svitlana Dolhoruk bought a Škoda Kodiaq of 2022 model year, which was listed for over 40 thousand dollars, for four times less — only 10 thousand dollars.
Svitlana Dolhoruk only since 2022 has been engaged in retail trade of clothing and footwear as a FOP. She also has a company that, in eight years of existence, according to analytics platform YouControl, earned a net 199 300 hryvnias.
Ashot Ghevorkian explained the difference between prices in listings and the prices declared by the official by saying that the sellers themselves had set those prices for the cars.
A Russian passport and two apartments
Daniil Trunin is 37 years old. He heads the Department for Oversight of Compliance with Laws by the State Bureau of Investigations bodies. The man moved to the Office of the Prosecutor General after Ruslan Kravchenko’s appointment. As early as August 2025 Trunin received a salary at the Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office, and a few days later he declared himself head of a department of the OPG.
The official’s mother, Iryna Trunina, in 2023 purchased property rights to two apartments in the PodilPlaza & Residence business-class residential complex. The total area is 108,2 m². The minimum market price per square meter in that complex then started at 1644 dollars. So the market value of the two apartments should have been from 6,5 million hryvnias, or almost 180 thousand dollars. But on 23 March 2023 the mother of the prosecutor paid for the property rights to the two apartments only just over 70 thousand dollars.
Daniil Trunin told hromadske in response to a query that he uses one of his mother’s apartments. At the same time, the official said he did not know whether the price for that real estate was market-based.
He also said that his mother “in 1997, along with teaching activities until the occupation of the city of Luhansk, conducted entrepreneurial activities that are now suspended and was registered as a sole proprietor, accordingly she had funds to invest in real estate.”
The prosecutor’s mother has worked in science her whole life. Since 2014 she has worked at Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University. She teaches management and marketing. The rector of this university, by the way, now receives 60 838 hryvnias in salary per month.
Iryna Trunina refused to comment to us on the origin of the funds for the real estate.
According to database leaks, the prosecutor’s father Yurii Trunin on 10 April 2019 obtained a Russian passport. The document is confirmed on the Russian tax authority’s website. Also, according to database leaks, since 2019 the man received a salary at the Russian company Gazprom Gazoraspredelenie Tver.
In his resume the man indicated he wanted to work as a mechanical engineer.
In response to hromadske’s query, Daniil Trunin said he “never communicated” with his biological father.
