Ukraine's Prosecutor General signs suspicions against NABU director and SAPO ally; parliament set to vote on his dismissal
On the morning of 14 September, Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko — who had already submitted his resignation a week earlier — announced in a video address that he had signed a notice of suspicion for NABU director Semen Kryvonos and a second notice for someone close to SAPO head Oleksandr Klymenko. President Zelensky responded within an hour, demanding Kravchenko's immediate dismissal and submitting a formal motion to the Verkhovna Rada, where the vote is scheduled for 15 September. NABU and SAPO say no suspicion was formally served on Kryvonos and accuse Kravchenko of a systematic attack on independent anti-corruption bodies; Kravchenko, in turn, accuses them of stealing protected case files during the "Carthage" operation and has left Ukraine on what he calls a foreign business trip.
