Ukraine's Prosecutor General signs suspicion against NABU director, then flees abroad; Zelensky pushes for dismissal
On 14 September, Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko announced in a seven-minute video address that he had signed a notice of suspicion against NABU director Semen Kryvonos and against a person close to SAPO head Oleksandr Klymenko. Hours earlier, Kravchenko had crossed the Ukrainian border in a service vehicle, formally framed as a five-day business trip. President Volodymyr Zelensky responded within an hour, stating Kravchenko's "only path is dismissal" and asking the Verkhovna Rada to support his removal urgently. NABU and SAPO rejected Kravchenko's framing as a "continuation of a systematic attack" on independent anti-corruption bodies. The Verkhovna Rada was scheduled to vote on Kravchenko's dismissal on 15 September.
