Zelenskyy fires chief prosecutor Kravchenko after rogue exit

Original version ·

Right before getting officially booted, Ukraine's top prosecutor accused the anti-corruption chief, leaked the case files, and bounced out of the country.

The exit drama felt like something straight out of a rushed political thriller. Just as parliament was preparing to vote him out, the prosecutor general abruptly dropped a bombshell: he claimed he had signed criminal charges against NABU director Semen Kryvonos over alleged forged documents and a fake adoption scheme.

Then things got truly bizarre. He leaked the case files online, casually announced he was heading abroad on an official "business trip," while his own office scrambled to put out a statement insisting the whole charge never actually existed.

Lawmakers wasted no time approving his dismissal with 317 votes, and the president's pen made it official hours later.

Dropping alleged criminal files on your rivals right before boarding a flight turns out not to be an effective strategy for keeping the job.
