Kravchenko traveled abroad at least five times in 2026 with a NABU case figure Kropyva
Former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko in 2026 traveled on foreign business trips at least 5 times, and each time he was accompanied by Serhiy Kropyva — former deputy head of the Department of International Cooperation of the Prosecutor General’s Office, known by the alias “Chancellor.” He is a figure in the NABU and SAP anti-corruption special operation “Carthage.”
This was reported by OBOZ.UA citing the official response of the Prosecutor General’s Office to a journalistic request.
According to official information, the purpose of the trips was meetings with prosecutors general of other countries, bilateral negotiations, and contacts with representatives of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
In February Kravchenko and Kropyva set off for Germany for a meeting with the country’s prosecutor general for 4 days. Trip expenses were covered by the Prosecutor General’s Office.
In March they spent 7 days in Madrid, where they were to take part in bilateral meetings with the prosecutor general of Spain.
In April the head of the Department of International Cooperation, Maksym Ryabenko, joined the officials. The three of them spent 6 days on a business trip to Italy.
In May Kravchenko and Kropyva went to the Netherlands for 4 days, and later spent 9 days in the United States. According to official data, there they were to meet with FBI representatives.
In June the Prosecutor General’s Office delegation visited Paris. The trip lasted 6 days. In addition to Kravchenko and Kropyva, the delegation included Deputy Head of the Department of Organizational and Control Activities Aydina Khudiyeva and Maksym Ryabenko.
In total, five business trips lasted 30 days. According to the provided data, Kravchenko visited Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States, and France, and Kropyva accompanied him on each of these trips.
What tasks Kropyva carried out for Kravchenko
According to the investigation and recordings of conversations released in court, Kropyva also carried out personal errands for Kravchenko. In particular, this included organizing repair and furnishing of a house in Kozyn, purchasing appliances, arranging a visa for the wife, and booking hotels during foreign business trips.
In one of the conversations Kropyva reported on connecting equipment and discussed with Kravchenko the installation of Ajax alarm sensors, a fireplace, household appliances and an ice maker, as well as problems with electrical wiring.
In addition, the publication reports that Kropyva bought a laptop for Kravchenko and handled the issue of arranging a U.S. visa for his wife.
The article also mentions that Kropyva previously stated he was divorcing his wife Olena Shkrobanets. The released recordings show that he asked people handling the paperwork to communicate more politely with her.
At the same time, the mere fact of joint official business trips does not indicate Kravchenko’s involvement in possible offenses within the framework of the “Carthage” case. The cited information about personal errands is based on investigation materials and released conversation recordings.
