President Zelensky appoints new Ukrainian prosecutor general
Jun 22, 2025
Kiev [Ukraine], June 22: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Ruslan Kravchenko as the country's new prosecutor general.
A decree to this effect was published on the president's official website on Saturday.
Born in 1990, Kravchenko comes from eastern Ukraine and, after the war began, led investigations into the Russian massacre in the small town of Bucha near Kiev.
Kravchenko succeeds Andriy Kostin, whose dismissal was voted by parliament last year following a scandal over falsely awarded disability pensions for prosecutors.
Since then, the office had been held on an interim basis by Kostin's deputy, Oleksiy Khomenko.
Since taking office, Zelensky has thus already filled the post of prosecutor general four times. (DPA
