On Monday, R. Kravchenko, who signed his resignation a week ago, announced suspicions against NABU head Semen Kryvonos. The Prosecutor General claimed that during the “Carthage” operation and searches, the anti-corruption institution received confidential material, and some documents were copied and stolen.
Afterwards, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that R. Kravchenko had only one path left – dismissal from office.

Kryvonos as a continuation of a systematic attack against independent anti-corruption institutions.
