Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed a new acting prosecutor general, after the predecessor resigned over an anti-corruption investigation.
asserted
predecessor → publish → investigation
Anton Kovalskyi, 42, was appointed on Thursday to replace Ruslan Kravchenko, who stood down last week following searches of his offices by Ukrainian anti-corruption officials related to illegal call centres in the country.
asserted
who → appoint → country
Officials said they identified a money-laundering scheme led by an official in Kravchenko's office, a claim he rejected.
The investigation into Kravchenko's office is the latest corruption scandal impacting Kyiv during the war against Russia.
uncertain
investigation → say → Russia
Accusations have been levelled at several members of Zelensky's inner circle.
asserted
Accusations → level → circle
According to Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (Nabu) and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (Sap), the network in Kravchenko's office received money to protect call centres that carried out phone scams and "laundered millions in assets".
uncertain
that → accord → assets
The money was then used to buy property, jewellery, and other valuables, according to Nabu.
uncertain
money → use → Nabu
Kravchenko released a statement denying any involvement and dismissing the allegations as "completely unsubstantiated".
asserted
Kravchenko → release → allegations
He resigned a day later before leaving Ukraine.
asserted
He → resign → Ukraine
He also alleged documents were stolen during the search of his office with the aim of covering up criminal investigations against anti-corruption officials themselves.
asserted
documents → allege → officials
Separately, he accused Nabu chief Semen Kryvonos of forging documents in a case nearly 20 years ago.
asserted
he → accuse → case
Both Nabu and Sap denied Kravchenko's claims, while Kryvonos dismissed them as "nonsense" and criticised "fierce" attempts to disrupt corruption probes.
uncertain
Kryvonos → deny → probes
The two anti-corruption agencies claimed it was the latest in an "unprecedented" campaign aimed at disrupting high-profile investigations they were conducting.
asserted
they → claim → investigations
Nabu's Kryvonos also claimed that anti-corruption detectives, their offices and vehicles were under surveillance, without giving specific accusations.
asserted
detectives → claim → accusations
He added: "It all looks like an attempt to obstruct the work of Nabu and Sap by gaining access to sensitive information regarding planned investigations."
Nabu and Sap are currently investigating a number of top Ukrainian officials including Zelensky's former chief of staff Andriy Yermak, former ministers and other influential people.
asserted
Nabu → add → staff
Yermak's lawyer has described the allegations against the former official as "baseless".
asserted
lawyer → describe → official
In 2025, nationwide protests broke out after Zelensky tried to implement reforms that would curb the independence of Nabu and Sap.
asserted
that → break → Nabu
Zelensky later reinstated their freedom but questions have remained over his commitment to anti-corruption reform.
asserted
questions → reinstate → reform
