A political crisis erupted in Kyiv after Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, who had resigned last week, signed a notice of suspicion against NABU head Semen Kryvonos, accusing the anti-corruption bureau and its allied prosecutor's office of illegally seizing case materials. Ukraine's parliament has moved to oust Kravchenko amid the standoff between his office and NABU. President Volodymyr Zelensky subsequently signed a decree formally suspending Kravchenko from office, and Kravchenko has since left the country, deepening uncertainty over the case and raising further questions about the independence of Ukraine's anti-corruption institutions.
