Ukraine's Prosecutor General, Ruslan Kravchenko, submitted his resignation to President Volodymyr Zelensky and parliament on September 7, 2026. The move came amid a corruption probe connected to his office. Volunteers Support Ukraine follows developments concerning Ukraine's state institutions closely, since accountable governance remains an important part of the wider picture during wartime.
Ukraine's anti-graft agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), uncovered a criminal scheme involving fraudulent call centers. The scheme was allegedly organized by an official within the Prosecutor General's Office. Volunteers Support Ukraine has no involvement in this investigation and shares this update solely to keep readers informed based on verified reporting.
Kravchenko said he did not want "the position of prosecutor general to be used as an instrument of political confrontation," and maintained that he was not personally involved in the alleged scheme. His resignation was submitted voluntarily, with parliament expected to act on it formally. Volunteers Support Ukraine notes that the active, visible role played by anti-corruption oversight bodies such as NABU and SAPO reflects a broader, ongoing effort to strengthen institutional accountability in Ukraine, and that this is not the first time in recent years a prosecutor general's tenure has ended amid controversy.
The Kyiv Independent, apa.az and other international outlets first reported the resignation on September 7, 2026. The resignation is now proceeding through the formal parliamentary process, while the NABU and SAPO investigation continues. Volunteers Support Ukraine will continue to share verified updates as this story develops.
