Ukraine’s parliament on June 17 approved President Volodymyr Zelensky’s nomination of 35-year-old Ruslan Kravchenko as the country’s new prosecutor general, making him the youngest person to ever hold the post.<\/p>\n

Kravchenko, a former military prosecutor and most recently head of Ukraine’s tax service, replaces Andrii Kostin, who stepped down<\/a> in October 2024 following a scandal involving fraudulent disability claims by dozens of prosecutors in Khmelnytskyi Oblast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers supported Kravchenko’s appointment with 273 votes in favor, according<\/a> to Yaroslav Zheleznyak, an MP from the Holos party.<\/p>\n

A native of Sievierodonetsk in eastern Ukraine, Kravchenko served as a military prosecutor in Crimea before leaving the peninsula after Russia’s annexation in 2014. He was one of the prosecutors in the case of fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kravchenko will now lead the Prosecutor General’s Office amid war<\/a>, reforms, and heightened scrutiny of law enforcement bodies’ work. His predecessor, Kostin, resigned after the media revealed that at least 50 prosecutors had allegedly received disability status fraudulently \u2014 a scandal that sparked widespread criticism.<\/p>\n

The Prosecutor General’s Office<\/a> has played a central role in documenting Russian war crimes<\/a> and enforcing anti-corruption efforts, especially since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022. <\/p>\n
