Ukraine’s Top Prosecutor Gone Overnight: Resignation, Cash Scandal and a Secret Escape to Poland
Ukraine’s former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko reportedly left the country just hours after resigning — crossing into Poland in the middle of the night in an official vehicle, according to media reports.
The escape came after a dramatic corruption scandal. Kravchenko’s wife had already left Ukraine on September 12, traveling through Moldova. Two days later, the former prosecutor allegedly followed, crossing the border around 2:30 a.m.
His resignation on September 7 came after searches by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO). Investigators reportedly discovered a safe inside the Prosecutor General’s Office containing bundles of foreign currency — dollars and euros.
Anti-corruption officials allege the money was linked to protection provided to fraudulent call centers that operated on a massive scale, targeting victims in Russia and other countries.
Kravchenko denies wrongdoing. From abroad, he claims he is on a “business trip” and says he plans to inform Western partners about what he calls the “unchecked influence” of anti-corruption bodies.
Before leaving, Kravchenko reportedly launched accusations against NABU Director Semen Kryvonos and associates of SAPO chief Oleksandr Klymenko, escalating a political battle over Ukraine’s anti-corruption institutions.
Now Kyiv is moving to distance itself from the scandal. President Zelensky has reportedly urged parliament to quickly remove Kravchenko from office — a move critics say could shift all responsibility onto the former prosecutor.
A top law enforcement official leaves the country overnight. A corruption investigation. A battle over anti-corruption agencies.
Ukraine’s political crisis is entering a new chapter.
