Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, whose tenure is ending, publicly defended himself and accused anti‑corruption agencies of targeting him. Earlier, Reuters recorded President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asking lawmakers to expedite Kravchenko’s removal from office.

Ukrainian Pravda added that the National Anti‑Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) issued a response to Kravchenko’s statement concerning notices of suspicion against anti‑graft officials. Financial Times portrayed the anti‑graft bureau as a ‘Sword of Damocles,’ highlighting the intense scrutiny it faces amid political turbulence.

The Kyiv Independent’s account of Kravchenko’s counter‑claims contrasts with NABU’s measured response, illustrating a clash between the prosecutor and anti‑corruption bodies.
