Zelenskyy removes prosecutor general amid corruption dispute
Deutschlandfunk reports that Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko was removed following corruption allegations. Reuters places the case within a broader confrontation between the prosecutor's office and Ukraine's independent anti-corruption bodies NABU and SAPO. Internationally, the issue matters because judicial reform and anti-corruption credibility remain central to Ukraine's EU accession prospects and continued Western financial support.
