About Ruslan Kravchenko
Ruslan Kravchenko took over the Office of the Prosecutor General in June 2025 after the dismissal of Andrei Kostin, who was caught up in a scandal over fake disability schemes among prosecutors.
After his appointment, Kravchenko declared his intention to restore the independence of the prosecutor’s office and separate it from political influence. He also promised to return the prosecutor’s office to the role of coordinating the work of law enforcement agencies, a function that the institution effectively lost after the 2015 reform.
Before that, he worked in the management of the Buchanskiy Prosecutor’s Office, participated in the competition for the head of the NABU, headed the Kyiv Regional State Administration, and then – the State Tax Service. After – he was appointed Prosecutor General.
