After the resignation of Andriy Kostin, who was dismissed amid corruption scandals, Ukraine is facing the need to appoint a new Prosecutor General. According to sources in the Office of the President and the Office of the Prosecutor General, the publication "Fakty" has identified three main candidates for this vacant position. However, all of them have an ambiguous reputation and have appeared in anti-corruption investigations, which is already raising questions in society and among political analysts.
The first candidate who is being actively considered 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 sights of journalists who found out that the Kyiv Regional State Administration, headed by him, ordered generators for the Chernobyl NPP at significantly inflated prices, which is suspected of being a corruption scheme. In addition, during the competition for the post of head of the NABU, information was revealed about his dubious privatization and sale of official housing.
The second contender is Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the President's Office. According to sources, she has experience working in the Ministry of Justice and has earned a reputation as a conflict-free person. However, her private assets, including several luxury apartments and expensive watches, have attracted the attention of journalists, who have raised questions about the sources of such wealth. There are also rumors about Mudra'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 Odessa Regional State Administration. He found himself at the center of a scandal due to his vacation abroad during martial law and accusations of corruption in the agricultural export sector. According to journalistic investigations, Kiper established de facto control over agricultural exports in the Odessa region, which brought excess profits to the participants in the scheme.
