He oversaw the investigation into the prosecutor's office that prompted the resignation and has rejected claims of misconduct by his agency while highlighting efforts to obstruct ongoing probes. Anton Kovalskyi: Anton Kovalskyi is the newly appointed acting prosecutor general of Ukraine. He assumed the role after Ruslan Kravchenko resigned in connection with an anti-corruption investigation into his former office. The appointment was made directly by President Zelensky. Ruslan Kravchenko: Ruslan Kravchenko previously held the position of Ukraine's prosecutor general. He resigned after searches of his offices by anti-corruption officials over allegations of a money-laundering scheme involving illegal call centres, which he has denied. He also made counter-allegations against the investigating agencies before departing the country. Volodymyr Zelensky: Volodymyr Zelensky serves as the President of Ukraine. He appointed Anton Kovalskyi as the new acting prosecutor general following the resignation of the previous officeholder amid a corruption investigation. This move occurs against the backdrop of ongoing probes into high-level officials in his administration. National Anti-Corruption Bureau: The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (Nabu) is Ukraine's primary agency for investigating corruption involving senior officials. It conducted searches and identified a money-laundering network tied to the former prosecutor's office in coordination with Sap. Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office: The Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (Sap) partners with Nabu to handle prosecution of corruption cases. It supported the recent investigation into alleged protection of scam call centres and money laundering within the prosecutor's office. Agency Resistance: Anti-corruption agencies have reported surveillance of their staff and attempts to access sensitive investigation details. Agency Independence: Questions remain over commitment to anti-corruption reforms after earlier attempts to curb the independence of Nabu and Sap were reversed following public protests. Anti-Corruption Investigations: Nabu and Sap are actively investigating multiple top Ukrainian officials including former chief of staff Andriy Yermak.
