Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed today Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko through a presidential decree published on the presidential website. The resignation was carried out under the legal regime of martial law, which has been in force in Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion on February 24.
Kravchenko had previously submitted his resignation, following suspicions of corruption involving members of his team. The decree specifically refers to the suspension of Ruslan Andriyovych Kravchenko from the position of attorney general.
The dismissal falls within a broader context of anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine, which has been scrutinized by the country's Western allies, especially regarding the use of military and economic aid funds sent since the beginning of the war.
