Prosecutor General fires lawyer Shevchuk from SAPO selection commission
Ukraine's Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko signed an order on September 4, 2026, terminating the powers of lawyer Oleksiy Shevchuk as a member of the competition commission that selects candidates for the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO). The move followed Shevchuk's own September 3 statement of resignation and a September 1 recommendation by five of the commission's six members to revoke him. Kravchenko has asked the Council of Prosecutors to promptly select a replacement, while Shevchuk claims the commission has lost its authority without him — a claim Transparency International Ukraine disputes.
