After the resignation of Andrii Kostin, who was released amid corruption scandals, Ukraine is faced with the need to appoint a new prosecutor general. As it became known from sources in the Office of the President and the Office of the Prosecutor General, the publication "Fakty" identified three main candidates for this vacant position. However, all of them have ambiguous reputations and have appeared in anti-corruption investigations, which is already raising questions in society and among political analysts.
The first candidate under active consideration is the head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration, Ruslan Kravchenko. He has experience working in the prosecutor's office and, according to sources, enjoys the support of Oleksiy Kuleba and Acting Prosecutor General Oleksiy Khomenko. However, Kravchenko came under the crosshairs of journalists, who found out that the Kyiv Regional State Administration headed by him ordered generators for the Chornobyl NPP at significantly inflated prices, which is suspected of being a corruption scheme. In addition, during the competition for the post of head of NABU, information was revealed about his dubious privatization and sale of official housing.
The second contender is Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the Office of the President. According to sources, she has experience working in the Ministry of Justice and has gained a reputation as a person without conflicts. However, her private property, including several luxury apartments and expensive watches, attracted the attention of journalists who raised questions about the sources of such wealth. There are also rumors about Mudroi's close relationship with the head of the National Bank Andriy Pyshny, which raises doubts about her independence.
The third candidate is Oleg Kiper, head of the Odesa Regional State Administration. He found himself at the center of a scandal due to a holiday abroad during martial law and allegations of corruption in the agricultural export sector. According to journalistic investigations, Kiper established actual control over agricultural exports in the Odesa region, which brought extra profits to the participants of the scheme.
