Bohutskaya criticized Kravchenko following his statement regarding Kryvonos
Liza Bogutskaya, a member of parliament from the “Servant of the People” party, reacted sharply to a public statement by former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko regarding the allegations against NABU Director Semen Kryvonos.
According to the MP, Kravchenko’s speech left a negative impression on her. She stated that, in her opinion, he would have been better off refraining from making such a statement or at least preparing it differently.
Bohutskaya also ironically criticized the manner of Kravchenko’s speech, particularly his reading from a teleprompter and his diction. She advised the former prosecutor to “learn to read” before traveling to Europe.
Separately, the MP stated that, in her opinion, Kravchenko had made an unsuccessful start to his tenure as Prosecutor General and ended it just as unsuccessfully.
Bohutska also called the Office of the Prosecutor General a “cursed place,” stating that she finds it difficult to recall any of its heads whom she considers worthy.

The Anti-Corruption Action Center stated that Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko allegedly left Ukraine after signing a notice of suspicion against NABU Director Semen Kryvonos. The Anti-Corruption Center claims that this may have been done in exchange for the opportunity to leave the country.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office have denied Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko’s statements regarding the alleged notice of suspicion issued to NABU Director Semen Kryvonos and offers of immunity.
NABU Director Semen Kryvonos does not believe there is a conflict between the Bureau and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), though on August 10 he reported illegal actions against NABU employees. According to him, detectives are being systematically monitored, and law enforcement officials are attempting to obtain information about the progress of investigations and planned investigative actions.
In Kryvonos’s case, the commission included international representatives: Karen Greenaway, Povilas Malakauskas, and Drago Kos, who is also a relative of European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos.
The conditions for a new attack on NABU and the SAPO remain—Kryvonos.
NABU has published new audio recordings as part of the “Midas” investigation, which reveal a large-scale kickback scheme in the energy sector.
